How to join SMART Local 265
Each Sheet Metal Workers local sets its own intake process, and it varies — we don't guess at SMART Local 265's rules. The common paths into a Sheet Metal Workers local:
Apprenticeship — Apply through the local's joint apprenticeship training committee (JATC). Most Sheet Metal Workers programs open applications on a set schedule and require an aptitude test and interview.
Organize in as an experienced worker — Journeymen and technicians already working in the trade can usually apply directly to the hall for membership.
Transfer from another local — Members of the same international can request a transfer card through their current hall.
For SMART Local 265's current application window, fees and requirements, contact the hall directly at (630) 668-0110 or visit the local's official site.
How to apply for a job
Through the hall — Many locals dispatch work through a referral or out-of-work list. Whether SMART Local 265 uses one, how to sign it and how often to re-sign are set by the local — confirm with the hall.
Through Gulfstream — Gulfstream recruits for signatory and open-shop mechanical, electrical and controls contractors. You do not need to be a member to apply to our openings.
