What is an entry level boilermaker?

Entry level boilermakers are workers who assemble, install, maintain, and repair boilers, tanks, and other large vessels used to store liquids and gases. At the entry level, they typically assist experienced boilermakers by handling basic tasks such as measuring, cutting, and fitting metal parts, and learning to use specialized tools. Over time, they gain hands-on experience and knowledge of safety procedures, welding techniques, and blueprint reading, which are essential for advancing in the trade. Entry level positions usually require a high school diploma or GED, and some employers may offer on-the-job training or apprenticeships.
