Sign writers design and create signs that are on display at shops, businesses and company vehicles. They prepare and lay out designs and lettering, and measure and calculate letter sizes and graphics.
Fireproofers
Fireproofers develop solutions that protect individuals, property, homes and buildings from fire damage.
Epoxy Floor Workers
Many industrial sites, warehouses, and commercial buildings rely on epoxy floors to maintain clean and safe conditions for workers, equipment, and inventory. Epoxy floor workers coat concrete floors with epoxy, as well as other liquid materials to ensure the floor can withstand heavy and continuous use.
Polyurethane Workers
Polyurethane is often used to increase energy efficiency in homes. By placing reflective plastic coverings over polyurethane foam in the roof, sunlight and heat will bounce away, helping the house stay cool while reducing energy consumption. Polyurethane workers help install polyurethane in homes.

I joined the union five years ago as a Glazier and it has lead to many great opportunities. From a pension for my future to medical benefits for myself and my family, IUPAT and my brother and sisters have always been there when needed. For anyone who isn't sure what to do with their life, I always recommend looking into the union. School was never my strong suit, I struggled academically. During my brief time as a high-rise window cleaner, I discovered that I enjoyed physical work – completing a task made me feel accomplished. I also enjoyed being able to move around for work and meet new people. Essentially, each new job felt like a new adventure. When I began working with the union, I really felt I had found the right fit for me. The union gave me an opportunity to further myself and challenge myself in ways that made me feel capable and gave me security. Rather than digging myself into a hole of never-ending student debt, discovering my passion and abilities in industrial and commercial painting allowed me to make income while becoming certified during my apprenticeship.
