- Occasional site measure, delivery, or install (field experience is a plus)
MUST HAVE
- 3+ years real custom or architectural welding/fabrication (stairs and railings strongly preferred)
- Clean, consistent MIG beads on steel; stainless and/or aluminum experience preferred
- Confident blueprint reading and accurate layout
- Reliable, detail-focused, shop-ready every day
- Able to show work: resume plus clear phone photos of your strongest custom stair, railing, or architectural metal projects

WHAT YOU GET
- Competitive hourly pay matched to skill ($25-$40/hr range)
