Tool mastery: Operate grinders, hand torches, hydraulic and ratchet jacks, chain falls, come‑alongs, framing squares, levels, and plumb bobs.
Alignment and securing: Bring plates, beams, and modules into true position and lock them in.
Varied environments: Work aloft, in confined spaces, and outdoors across multiple shifts.
Safety leadership: Uphold stringent safety practices and teamwork every day.

What you bring to the table

3–5 years in shipfitting or structural steel fabrication.
Blueprint fluency in both metric and imperial units.
