Build and maintain the pressure vessels that power the world
Boilermakers construct, install, maintain, and repair boilers, pressure vessels, tanks, and vats used in power generation, oil refining, chemical processing, and manufacturing.
You weld patches on a high-pressure boiler at a power plant, rigging heavy vessel sections with cranes, perform hydrostatic pressure tests, and ensure every weld meets ASME code. It's demanding, precise, and well-paid.
