What is a structure fitter?

Structure Fitters are skilled tradespeople responsible for assembling, installing, and maintaining structural frameworks and components, typically made of metal, in industries such as construction, shipbuilding, and manufacturing. They work from blueprints and technical drawings to cut, align, and fit structural parts, ensuring everything is securely joined and meets safety standards. Structure Fitters often use tools like welding machines, cutters, and measuring devices, and may work at heights or in confined spaces. Their precision and expertise are essential for the safety and durability of large structures such as buildings, bridges, and ships.
