·       Ensure parts are identified, labeled, staged, and ready for delivery.
·       Monitor workmanship and company quality standards.
·       Train and mentor welders, fitters, and apprentices.
·       Enforce safe work practices and end-of-day shutdown procedures.
·       Identify improvement opportunities and implement practical solutions.

·       Ability to think ahead and plan production.
·       Strong communication with shop and office personnel.
·       AWS certifications are a plus.
·       Dependable, accountable, and safety-minded.

What We're Looking For
We want someone who walks into the shop each morning and asks:
 
 • What are we building today?
 • What needs to be ready tomorrow?
 • What is coming next week?
 • What could stop us, and what do we need to do about it now?
 
 We're looking for a leader who takes ownership, develops people, communicates clearly, and continuously improves the shop.

·       Paid Time Off
·       401(k)
