What You'll Do

As a Field Installer, you will work with our installation team to safely and accurately install custom-fabricated metal products at commercial and residential job sites.

Responsibilities include:

• Install railings, stairs, gates, fences, canopies, ladders, structural and architectural metal components, and other custom-fabricated products
• Read and work from shop drawings, plans, measurements, and installation details
• Measure, lay out, level, plumb, align, and securely anchor fabricated components
• Use hand tools, power tools, drills, grinders, saws, levels, and other installation equipment
• Perform field adjustments as needed to achieve proper fit and finish
• Assist with loading, unloading, staging, and handling fabricated materials
• Safely operate or work from ladders, scaffolding, lifts, and other access equipment as required
• Coordinate with supervisors, project managers, other trades, and job-site personnel
• Protect finished products and surrounding surfaces during installation
• Maintain company tools, equipment, and vehicles
• Follow RDS safety procedures and all applicable job-site safety requirements
• Maintain a clean and organized work area
• Represent RDS professionally when working at customer and contractor locations
