The Constructional Engineering Union was formed in 1924. The British Iron, Steel and Kindred Trades Association (BISAKTA), the central association of the Iron and Steel Trades Confederation (ISTC), agreed to allow members who worked in engineering construction to leave the Association to form the Constructional Engineering Union. The union represented various engineering construction workers, including steel erectors, riggers, crane drivers, scaffolders, fitters and welders.
In April 1970, it became the Construction Section of the newly formed Amalgamated Union of Engineering Workers (AUEW). Finally, a full merger was achieved in 1986 when the union became the Amalgamated Engineering Union.
