Welding & Fabrication: Execute structural stick and MIG welding, light metal fabrication, and component modifications in both the shop and field environments.

Shop Support: Maintain service truck inventory, assist with shop organization, prep equipment, and perform refurbishments during downtime. Customer Service: Professional interface with facility managers to explain repair requirements, root causes, and routine maintenance recommendations.

Formal certifications are welcomed, but relevant practical experience is prioritized. Schematics & Mechanical Aptitude: Ability to read and interpret basic electrical/hydraulic schematics and diagrams.

Welding: Hands-on experience with stick welding and structural metal repairs (MIG experience is a plus).
