Our welders, fitters, fabricators and other skilled trades professionals are fundamental to our ability to safely fabricate complex steel structures and deliver quality products to our customers. We need a recruiter who understands that environment, speaks the language of the shop floor and knows the difference between simply generating applicants and delivering qualified industrial talent cap able of passing our technical requirements.
