industrial Sheet metal welding
Industrial sheet metal workers work on large-scale projects; custom, one-of-a kind projects; or large shop-built modules. The metals used in this industry are often up to one-inch thick. Industrial sheet metal parts must be moved or hoisted into place using large, heavy-gauge machinery or even helicopters. In this field you may make the machines used in automotive assembly or food processing plants. You may design, assemble, and install the air handling systems needed in businesses that must have very clean air, such as computer assembly plants or the pharmaceutical industry. You might find yourself working on a specialized one-of-a kind installation almost anywhere in the world. You may work on construction sites installing large machine components or in a specialized fabrication shop. The work is highly challenging and the results are very satisfying. You will work on projects that will last for years and enhance the quality of life for many people.
