• Experience in a custom fabrication or job-shop environment

• Someone who takes pride in quality and craftsmanship
• A detail-oriented individual who enjoys solving technical problems
• A dependable teammate who communicates effectively with production personnel
• Someone who believes quality is built into the process—not inspected in at the end
• A professional who values safety, accountability, and continuous improvement

• Competitive pay based on experience
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Retirement benefits
• Opportunities for training, certification, and career growth
• Stable workload with a company committed to long-term success
