Boilermakers Local Union #60

APPRENTICESHIP

CONSIDER THESE FACTS CAREFULLY:
Work performed by a Boilermaker requires high technical skill and a dedication to top performance.

Field construction work is, by nature, an outside job which means exposure to all types of weather conditions, heat, and cold.

A major portion of the Boilermaker’s work is performed at great heights, often from 200 to 1,000 feet above the ground.

Field construction is contract work – when the contract is completed, your job is ended. You may have to travel outside of the Local Lodge and live away from home for long periods of time.

The majority of work involves confined space access, requiring safe work procedures for access, egress, escape, and rescue.

The size of materials, tools, and equipment handled by Boilermakers requires excellent physical strength and stamina.
