Scaffolders are responsible for assembling and dismantling usually temporary scaffolding structures that allow workers to access specific portions of a building to perform needed work in a variety of industries such as construction, entertainment, shipbuilding, mining, utilities, drilling, and more.
Scaffolding is mainly an outdoor job that involves working in most weather conditions. The work can be physically demanding, with a lot of climbing and lifting of heavy equipment. A person who isn’t afraid to climb, walk, and work at high elevations can succeed in this role.
