A steel erector is a tradesman who installs structural steel frames of building and engineering projects. [citation|title=The Wiley Dictionary of Civil Engineering and Construction |author= Len F. Webster|year=1997|publisher=Wiley-Interscience|id=ISBN 0471181153 |url=http://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN0471181153&id=u7nAYkS9lGcC&pg=PA557&lpg=PA557&dq=%22Steel+erector%22&ie=ISO-8859-1&output=html&sig=yzF3cDwFo9MrjTXlFIiBDF5fNnc] The components would usually have been prefabricated, including usually all welded joints. Steel erectors assemble the structural frame in accordance with engineering drawings. [citation|title=Structural Detailing in Steel |author= M.Y.H.

Steel erectors also fix metal decking, safety netting and edge rails to facilitate safe working practices. The work is executed in teams using powered and hand tools to bolt the steelwork together. Steel erectors also are involved in dismantling steel frames. [ [http://www.bconstructive.co.uk/careers/jobs.asp?sub_section=3&sub_section2=24&sub_section3=27 Steel erector Job Profile] ]
