Boilermaker
Work Description:Boilermakers are essential to industry, especially at power plants where they assemble and repair boilers used to generate electricity. They also build pressure vessels, tanks and vats. Boilermakers work in a world of precision to ensure leak-proof construction. Parts must be aligned according to exacting standards before they are welded or bolted together. Knowledge of geometry is useful for locating and marking reference points for columns or plates on the foundation. Work outside of St. Louis and beyond the state of Missouri may be required. Training Program: Boilermakers receive four years of training in welding, blueprint reading, burning, rigging, layout, fit-up and related topics. On-the-job training and correspondence courses are also required. Application Process: Applications are accepted the 2nd Monday of each month from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the hall (address below). The recruitment, selection, employment and training of apprentices during their apprenticeship shall be without discriminations because of race, religion, national origin, age or sex. Applicants are required to complete an application and pass a physical examination and drug test. Applicants with a welding certification or welding training qualifications have priority selection over applicants with no welding qualifications. Applicants must provide a copy showing proof of welding certification or welding training qualifications at the time of application. To Apply, Contact: David L.
