Advantages
Skyrocket Your Bluebook Hours: This is our biggest draw. We absolutely guarantee you won't be stuck doing mindless, repetitive grinding all day. You will rapidly accumulate valuable, highly diverse hours working on top-tier structural steel projects to get your ticket faster.

Four-Day Workweeks: You will work a compressed Monday through Thursday rotation. That equals a guaranteed three-day weekend to recharge, every single week.

Serious Earning Potential: We have massive amounts of overtime up for grabs for ambitious workers looking to maximize their paychecks.

Total Package Provided: You get full access to necessary shop tools, comprehensive benefits, plus two weeks of paid time off.

Unshakable Job Security: This is not a temporary gig; it is a permanent, long-term career move within a highly supportive, team-oriented shop.

Responsibilities
We flat-out refuse to treat our apprentices like glorified broom-pushers. You will be actively welding alongside veteran journeypersons to rapidly build the following skills:
- Precision Flux-Core: Achieve total proficiency with FCAW/MCAW (Flat Position) on heavy-duty projects.
- Structural Fabrication: Take a hands-on role in manufacturing giant steel beams, complex tower components, and various custom structural components.
- Advanced Techniques: Work with specialized jigs and standoff welding techniques.
- Elite Safety Standards: Fully adopt and practice our industry-leading, zero-compromise approach to safe manufacturing protocols.

Qualifications
Apprenticeship Status: You must be actively registered as a first- or second-year apprentice welder. Second-year apprentices preferred.

Initial Experience: We require candidates to have at least 2000 hours already stamped into their Bluebook.

Technical Background: Previous hands-on exposure to FCAW, MCAW, or MIG welding processes is highly preferred.

Professional Character: We expect total punctuality, rock-solid reliability, and a relentless, eager-to-learn attitude on the shop floor.

The Golden Ticket: If you currently possess an active CWB Certification, your resume will instantly be bumped to the priority pile.

Summary
Stop wasting precious time in shops that stall your progression. Partner with a company completely dedicated to helping you accumulate your required hours and secure your journeyperson certification.
