Duct fabricators are also known as sheet metal workers as they work at the construction sites as well as in manufacturing plants. They generally construct ductwork products that are used in heating and cooling requirements. These are products are mainly utilized in office buildings and residential buildings and homes. Apart from this, a duct fabricator uses other materials, for example, fiberglass and plastic to produce ductwork. A duct fabricator’s work mainly revolves around the work that involves ductwork. The ductwork includes fabrication stage, installation stage, and continuous maintenance stage. A duct fabricator works throughout these stages.
A duct installer is one who performs the layout and installation of air conditioning duct and ventilation equipment. They are responsible for designing and installing ducts and duct fittings. They are involved in doing paperwork, adhering to company procedures, and following safety procedures.
A duct foreman is the one who supervises a duct fabricate. He gives all the instructions and guidelines to duct fabricator and duct installer. He coordinates work team activities with other team leaders and management personnel as necessary to complete the tasks. A duct foreman checks whether all the work orders were completed effectively and according to the time frame.
