A Respected Union

Join something bigger than yourself. Becoming a union member is one of the most effective ways to advance your career. Boilermakers Local 549—based in Pittsburg, CA—represents highly skilled craftsmen in the industrial construction industry. Through our nationally recognized apprenticeship program, we continue to lead the way in developing top-tier talent.

Our union is committed to advocating for workers’ rights, fair wages, and safe working conditions. Local 549 members are contracted across a wide range of high-demand job sites—from refineries and shipyards to fabrication shops and power plants, including nuclear facilities. These environments require precise rigging, high-pressure welding, and mechanical skill.

If you have a strong work ethic, mechanical aptitude, welding experience, or creative problem-solving abilities, we want to hear from you. Contact us today to learn how you can become part of the Boilermaker brotherhood.

At Boilermakers Local 549, we believe that skilled tradespeople keep the world running. No matter your background or interests, a career in the trades offers a chance to make a real difference in your community. This isn’t just a job—it’s a lifelong career that allows you to build a future doing what you love.



Equal Opportunity Commitment

The Boilermakers National Apprenticeship Program and the Western States Joint Apprenticeship Program are committed to equal opportunity. We do not discriminate against applicants or apprentices based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), sexual orientation, age, genetic information, or disability. We take affirmative action to ensure fairness in all aspects of our apprenticeship programs, in accordance with Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 30.
