- Use hand and power tools for assembly and installation
- Align, fit, and fasten metal components

- Comfortable measuring, cutting, drilling, punching, and fitting metal
- Experience using hand and power tools
- Ability to read basic drawings and measurements
- Steel roofing, gutter installation, siding, or similar sheet-metal experience is a plus
- Important: This is an industrial metal assembly/fabrication environment. Candidates whose experience is primarily residential carpentry or wood-frame construction are not a fit. There is no wood involved in the enclosure installation.
If you have experience working with sheet metal, industrial assemblies, steel roofing, gutters, or metal structures, I'd be interested in connecting with you.
