RESPONSIBILITIES
- Erect structural steel for power generation: turbine and generator support framing, pipe racks, equipment platforms, and SCR stack steel
- Shake out, rig, and connect columns, beams, bracing, and trusses at height; plumb and align members, then bolt up and torque connections per drawings and specs
- Install metal deck, grating, handrail, stairs, ladders, toe boards, and access steel around turbine packages, pipe racks, and stack structures
- Set embed plates, anchor bolts, and bearing surfaces so millwrights can land, level, and grout trailer- and skid-mounted turbine and generator packages
- Place and tie rebar for foundations, equipment pads, and pedestals ahead of each pour

- Rig and signal crane picks of structural members, stack sections, grating, and miscellaneous steel; keep every pick inside the lift plan
- Coordinate bolt-up, grating, and pour windows with millwrights, pipefitters, and concrete so the next craft is not waiting on steel
- Stage, move, and inventory steel, grating, rebar, hardware, and tools; keep laydown yards and work fronts orderly
- Open and close work areas: protection, debris removal, scrap segregation, and end-of-shift reset so the next crew can start immediately

IRONWORKER
Starbase is standing up on-site power generation for the Starbase supercomputer. This ironworker role builds the steel the plant stands on, and the reinforcing in the foundations coming out of the ground. You will erect structural framing, pipe racks, equipment platforms, and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) stack steel, and set the embeds so trailer- and skid-mounted gas turbines, generators, piping, and emissions equipment can land on schedule.
