Boilermakers Local 647 is a skilled trades union that trains workers to build, install, and maintain the heavy industrial equipment that powers our world — from power plants and refineries to chemical facilities and industrial manufacturing sites. Based in Ramsey, MN and serving the tri-state region since 1936, Local 647 offers a four-year, paid apprenticeship where you earn a real wage from day one while learning a high-skill trade. If you enjoy working with your hands, solving physical and technical problems, and want a well-paying career without a four-year college degree, this path is worth a serious look.
