Build something that lasts — with a team that has your back.
Patriot Erectors is a full-service, AISC-Certified Steel Fabricator and AISC-Certified Advanced Steel Erector. Since 1991, from our modern 60,000-square-foot facility just west of Austin, Texas, we’ve fabricated and erected structural steel for complex buildings and non-building structures — with a relentless focus on quality, safety, and pride in every project.
People come first here. Our mission is to fabricate and erect steel that meets or exceeds our customers’ requirements — without defects or accidents. We invest in understanding what our market, customers, and employees need, and we live by five values that spell exactly who we are:
STEEL — Safety, Teamwork, Ethics, Enthusiasm, and Leadership.
Our vision is simple: Recognize a Need & Fulfill It. We seek out steel-related opportunities and take on challenges to deliver outcomes that are mutually respected and mutually beneficial — fueling growth for our employees, our stakeholders, and the communities we call home.
Run a division. Own the outcome. Build what lasts.
Patriot Erectors is growing — and we’re ready to hand a proven leader the keys to a division.

If you’ve built your career running commercial steel work and you’re ready to lead all of it, we want to talk — now.
