Sheet Metal Workers assemble, install and service an extensive range of heating, air conditioning, roofing, restaurant, and hospital equipment. This includes such things as: ducts, pipes, gutters, cabinets, flashings and supporting devices. Sheet Metal Worker is a nationally designated trade under the Inter-provincial Red Seal program.
Sheet Metal Workers also test, balance, and troubleshoot duct systems; and weld, grind and polish metals. They use welding equipment to join sheets of metal and must have knowledge of the specialized welding techniques used for the many different metal alloys they will encounter.
Sheet metal fabrication shops, sheet metal product manufacturing companies and sheet metal work contractors all employ Sheet Metal Workers. In some cases, experienced workers set up their own contracting businesses.
Jobs in this field are frequently tied to the construction sector, while other Sheet Metal Workers pursue their trade in manufacturing plants.
