Role overview – Steel Erector
Steel erecting is the on-site process of lifting, positioning, and securing structural steelwork to form the frame of buildings and industrial structures. The role involves reading technical drawings, connecting beams and columns using bolting and/or welding techniques, and working safely at height using cranes, MEWPs, and approved lifting equipment.
Successful steel erecting relies on accurate setting-out, temporary stability and bracing, and close coordination between the erection team, crane operations, and site supervision. This ensures that structures are aligned, stable, and ready for follow-on trades while maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality.
