They also work with sheet metal details on house facades and with service and maintenance of properties. To become a sheet metal worker, you choose the upper secondary school's three-year construction program. Then you choose the specialization Building sheet metal. Graduation in companies includes a final exam and then a professional certificate is issued. For Tomas Talle, sheet metal warehouse is in the family. His father and uncle worked as sheet metal workers. Tomas comes from Eskilstuna, and he came to Stockholm in 1968 and started with a sheet metal warehouse. At first he got to be involved and be a handyman, shovel snow in the winters, etc. But eventually he entered the profession and became fascinated by the sheet metal and its possibilities. Tomas talks with empathy about how the plate should be attached to a roof with round domes. When Tomas is out on the town with his children, he often points to roofs as he has done. He has had quite a few roofs over the years. Tomas also says that the training as a sheet metal worker has been three years, and he sees it as an advantage. If you were to move on after being a sheet metal worker for a few years, you have greater opportunities after a three-year education instead of the old shorter education. Tomas has been with Byggnads since 1971, and over the years he has benefited a lot from the union.
