What is a joist?

A joist job typically refers to work involving the installation, repair, or maintenance of joists, which are horizontal supporting structures in floors or ceilings. Joists help distribute weight evenly and provide stability to a building. Workers in this role may cut, fit, and secure joists using various tools and materials.

To thrive as a Joist (Joist Installer), you need a solid understanding of construction methods, blueprint reading, and physical stamina, often gained through an apprenticeship or hands-on experience in carpentry or framing. Familiarity with power tools, measuring devices, and safety equipment is standard, and OSHA safety certification may be required. Attention to detail, teamwork, and effective communication are valuable soft skills for this role. These abilities ensure accurate, safe, and efficient installation of joist systems in a variety of construction projects.

What are the primary day-to-day responsibilities for a joist on a construction site?

As a Joist, your main responsibilities include measuring, cutting, and installing floor and ceiling joists according to architectural plans and blueprints. You'll work closely with other tradespeople and foremen to ensure structures are level, secure, and meet building codes. Daily tasks often require operating various power tools, maintaining a clean and safe work area, and adhering to strict safety standards. Communication and collaboration are important as you’ll coordinate with team members to resolve challenges quickly and keep projects on schedule. Over time, gaining experience can open doors to supervisory roles or specialized positions within the framing and carpentry field.

About Steel Dynamics

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

Steel Dynamics is one of the largest and most diversified domestic steel producers and metals recyclers in the United States, with an estimated steelmaking and coating capacity of approximately 13 million tons, and facilities located throughout the United States and in Mexico. We operate using a circular manufacturing model, producing lower-carbon-emission, quality steel using electric arc furnace (EAF) technology with recycled ferrous scrap as the primary input. Our circular economy is powered by our three primary operating platforms: steel, metals recycling, and steel fabrication. Our steel operations produce steel products, including hot roll, cold roll, and coated sheet steel, structural steel beams and shapes, rail, engineered special-bar-quality steel, cold finished steel, merchant bar products, and specialty steel sections. Our metals recycling operations collect and process ferrous and nonferrous scrap from manufacturing and end-of-life items, such as automobiles, appliances, and machinery. This processed scrap is then sold to end-users for reuse, including our EAF steel mills, which produce new steel from the scrapped material. We sell a meaningful amount of steel to our own steel fabrication operations that in turn produce and sell structural steel joist and deck building systems to consumers.
