What a Boilermaker Does:
A boilermaker is a specialist who builds and fixes metal parts. Think of large boilers, pressure vessels, pipes and steel frames used in factories and power stations. Key tasks include:
Cutting and shaping metal sheets and pipes
Welding pieces together
Assembling and testing finished structures
Working in factories, power plants, mines or construction sites
This job needs good physical stamina and attention to detail, but it is also respected and can pay well once you finish the training.
