Sheet Metal

Tradespeople responsible for the massive air distribution networks in offices, hospitals, and industrial plants. These professionals focus on the physical installation of large-scale galvanized steel and aluminum ductwork, ensuring every joint is sealed and hung according to rigorous mechanical engineering blueprints. Their work involves maneuvering heavy sections of ducting into tight ceiling spaces using lifts and pulleys, then securing them with hangers, brackets, and high-velocity fasteners. To ensure the system operates efficiently, they must meticulously install VAV boxes, dampers, and diffusers that regulate critical airflow and temperature throughout the building. This role is highly collaborative and physically demanding, often requiring installers to work at heights on scaffolding while coordinating with HVAC technicians to complete the final system integration.
