Who Are We?

Total Structures has over 35 years experience in the business with High-End clients in the Entertainment Industry with World Tours. Besides that we supply for Aerospace and Department of Defense.

• Reading fabrication drawings and understanding dimensions, angles, and part orientation
• Using squares, tape measures, levels, calipers, and other measuring tools
• Inspecting your own work before sending it to the next operation

• Using grinders, saws, fixtures, clamps, and normal fabrication equipment
• Following travelers, drawings, and production instructions
• Keeping your work area clean, organized, and safe
• Communicating with other team members to complete jobs on schedule

A strong candidate should have
