Tailor Your Resume for this Job

Pay: $25–$31/hr DOE + Consistent OT
Schedule: 50–70 hrs/week (Mon–Sat)
Location: Nationwide Travel
Contact: Marc Lewis – (706) 416-7898

Position Overview

We’re hiring experienced Ironworkers with a strong background in Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings (PEMB) — specifically those who can handle primary and secondary steel erection from start to finish.

This is not an entry-level role. We’re looking for guys who understand how PEMB systems go together structurally, not just how to bolt parts.

If you can read prints, set steel correctly, and keep a crew moving — you’ll do well here.

Scope of Work

• Erect primary steel (columns, rafters, rigid frames)
• Install secondary steel (purlins, girts, bracing systems)
• Interpret PEMB erection drawings and sequencing
• Understand structural alignment, plumbing, and squaring of frames
• Coordinate picks and placement with equipment/operators
• Install bracing systems and ensure structural integrity during erection
• Work safely and efficiently at heights

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of PEMB ironwork experience REQUIRED
• Must understand full erection process of PEMB systems (not just pieces)
• Strong ability to read and interpret erection drawings
• Experience with layout, sequencing, and structural alignment
• Comfortable working at heights (30–100 ft depending on project)
• Ability to work without constant supervision
• Brings basic tools required for ironwork

What We Provide

• Company-paid housing while traveling
• Travel between job sites covered
• PPE provided (fall protection, harnesses, etc.)
• Long-term, steady work — not project hopping
• Consistent overtime (50–70 hrs/week)

Requirements

• Valid government-issued ID
• Authorized to work in the U.S.
• Must pass drug/alcohol screening
• May be subject to background check
• Reliable transportation to/from job sites

Physical Demands

• Lift 50+ lbs regularly
• Climb, balance, and work at height daily
• Work long shifts (10–12+ hours) in outdoor conditions

Why This Role Is Different

Let’s be real — most listings say “ironworker” and mean bolt-up labor.

This role is for guys who:

• Understand how a building stands up — not just how to tighten bolts
• Can keep production moving without waiting on instructions
• Know PEMB systems specifically (not just red iron or misc steel)

If that’s you — you’ll have steady work, strong hours, and a crew that actually knows what they’re doing.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $25.00 - $31.00 per hour

Expected hours: 52 – 65 per week
