SHEET METAL WORKER                    

 

 

 

Sheet metal work is an extremely varied trade. Sheet metal workers build interior and exterior architectural work, food service kitchen systems, material handling systems and air handling systems for heating, ventilating and air conditioning.

 

The sheet metal trade is one of the few modern trades in which the skilled individual takes the raw product, interprets the design drawing, makes the shop drawing, develops the pattern, fabricates the item, installs and maintains it.
