Why Work Here?
You will join a small, tight-knit team that values collaboration, reliability, and hands-on craftsmanship. The organization offers steady work with a strong backlog of new builds and installations, providing long-term project stability and consistent hours. Team members travel together in company vehicles to job sites and receive drive time at regular pay, creating a sense of shared purpose and reducing personal commuting costs. The environment encourages learning by doing, giving you the opportunity to expand your fabrication and installation skills while contributing to visible, large-scale projects.
Work Environment
The role is based in both a fabrication shop and field construction sites, primarily on new build agricultural and industrial projects, including a pistachio facility. You will work as part of a team of about 15 people, with plans to grow the crew to around 20 by the end of the year, reflecting a strong pipeline of work. The environment is typical of a construction setting, with active equipment, machinery, and outdoor exposure, requiring appropriate workwear and adherence to safety practices. Work sites range across multiple locations, and you will travel in company work trucks to these sites. The schedule typically involves working 5–6 days per week for 8–10 hours per day, including drive time, with a focus on new builds and installation projects using welding and mechanical tools and equipment.
