What Does a Light Fabrication Apprentice do?

Light fabrication engineers work with lightweight metals such as stainless steel and aluminum. Light fabricators typically make things such as handrails, balustrades and bench tops and play a key role in manufacturing boats and many ancillary components used within the marine industry.

What does a Heavy Fabrication Apprentice do?

Working with metals, fabricators make everything from steel parts to structures that are used anywhere. Heavy Fabricators work with heavier gauge plates, sections, and pipes, to produce a wide variety of products including trailers, earthmoving machinery, manufacturing equipment and more.

What does a Steel Construction Apprentice do?

Steel construction engineers generally work with steel at least 4mm thick. Much of the work undertaken by steel construction engineers is structural steel for the construction industry but also includes making and repairing things as varied as boilers, significant structures, tanks and components for heavy machinery.
