Metal Trades Assistant
Metal trades assistants assist metal engineering
tradespersons by performing routine tasks.
Metal trades assistants may:
- position and hold metal stock or products to enable work
to be carried out
- perform assembly and dismantling operations, such as
screwing or bolting
- solder or spot weld components using electrical spot or
butt welding machines
- operate power hammers, presses or other cutting and
shaping tools and machines
- transport tools, materials and workpieces to and from
sites or workbenches
- hand tools to tradespersons and hold tools not
immediately required
- clean and prepare working surfaces.
Metal trades assistants may specialise as boilermakers'
assistants, fitters' assistants, metal forgers' assistants,
metal moulders' assistants, or as second-class or third-class
welders. The work involves standing and lifting.
Welders work in workshops or production areas. Their work
is at times carried out in confined spaces. Potential
employees must demonstrate awareness of personal and
industrial safety and wear supplied protective clothing and
special eye shields. See First Class Welders under the
Engineering Tradesperson - Fabrication entry for more
information.
