Boilermakers in this division are engaged in constructing,
maintaining and repairing: coal-fired, natural gas-fired,
concentrated solar and nuclear power plants; oil refineries; steel
mills; pulp and paper mills; and other heavy industrial
projects.
"Construction Boilermakers have a reputation for being safety
conscious and well-trained," said Roger
Erickson, Administrator for MOST, the training and safety
arm of the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers. "While we are
looking for experienced welders, each recruit will be required to
meet our union's qualifications and complete safety training
courses. Programs developed through MOST are designed to elevate
trade skills and promote the highest levels of safety on the job
site."
Since its inception more than 25 years ago, MOST has developed
innovative programs that have led to a 90% reduction in OSHA
recordable injuries, a 95% reduction in costs associated with
welder certification and a 90% reduction in job site injuries.
With 42 local lodges across the United
States, the Boilermakers play an integral part in the
building repairing and maintaining of America's energy and
manufacturing infrastructure. Boilermaker work includes
welding, rigging and steel erection necessary for the construction
and repair of pressure vessels, boilers, stacks, tanks and large
pipe networks.
