How do ironworkers find jobs? Does one employer find them work or do they have to go looking for new jobs at the end of each project?
Ironworking is project-based. If you’re signed up with a labour organization or open-shop association, they will contact you when a job comes up. Contracts can last from 1 month to 2 years depending on the project. It’s important to maintain regular contact with your hiring organization; it will keep you front and centre in their minds and will lead to continued work opportunities.
