You should:
- be strong and physically fit
- be comfortable working at heights
- pay close attention to detail and exercise absolute precision to create safe structures
- have good hand eye coordination
You generally work outside in all kinds of weather. However, if you work at great heights you do not work during wet, icy or extremely windy conditions because of safety risks.
If you fabricate structural metal in fabricating shops or factories, you work indoors where it may be dirty and noisy, with strong odours.
This work can be physically demanding. You have to do considerable bending, lifting, standing, climbing and squatting. In addition, you often have to place and attach heavy metal components.
