Why Work Here?

You will join a small, close-knit crew where teamwork and mutual support are central to how work gets done.

The environment values hands-on craftsmanship, collaboration, and the chance to take pride in building complex industrial systems from the ground up.

Work Environment

The role is based in a construction environment focused on new industrial builds, including a pistachio facility and similar agricultural and industrial projects. You will split time between a fabrication shop and active field sites, working with a team currently around 15 people and expected to grow to approximately 20 by the end of the year. Work involves 56 days per week with 810 hour shifts, using hand tools, power tools, welding equipment (dual shield, TIG, MIG), and other industrial fabrication tools.
