The load builders are responsible for rigging and loading steel so it may be sent through the galvanizing process. Load builders are required to attach rigging to large, intricately shaped pieces of material – knowledge of weight capacities, rigging types, and center of gravity is required.

• Place material in the load to be processed – this may entail making decisions about location, placement, weights, rigging type/location
• Material may be loaded individually, or grouped together in larger carrying devices – communication with supervisors and picklers must be maintained to stay on schedule
