• Precision Layout: Use measuring tools and leveling techniques to ensure enclosures are square, aligned, and weather-tight.
• Material Handling: Assist with positioning heavy steel frames and moving completed units within the facility.
• Quality & Efficiency: Maintain a strong sense of urgency while ensuring high-quality workmanship.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in structural assembly, fabrication, construction, or carpentry
• Strong ability to read and interpret blueprints or fabrication drawings
• Experience installing siding, windows, doors, or structural components
• Familiarity with industrial fasteners, sealants, and installation techniques
• Must have a basic personal tool set (impact driver, tape measure, levels, wrenches, etc.)
• Strong communication and organization skills
• Basic electrical experience is a plus, but not required

Why This Role?

• Opportunity to work on large, custom-built industrial units
• Hands-on role where craftsmanship and precision matter
• Stable first shift schedule
• Potential to transition into a long-term or permanent position

If you enjoy building and assembling large structural systems and want to be part of a team that creates complex industrial equipment, we’d like to connect with you.
