  • Contribute to a safe and tidy work environment.
  • (Upcoming) Operate our new robot manipulator to assist with larger fabrications.
  • (Upcoming) Help us define and construct the new welding booth & storage layout for greater efficiency and productivity.

About You

  • Practical, proactive, and quality-focused.
  • Comfortable working in a small, collaborative team.
  • Open to taking on a variety of tasks around the workshop.
