Join a stable, family-owned organization that invests in long-term growth and modern facilities. The company offers a strong benefits package, including a high percentage of medical premiums paid and an IRA with a company match, supporting both health and retirement goals. Recent large government contract awards provide long-term project stability and consistent work. You will report to the same facility each day, reducing travel and jobsite variability, and work in a highly organized environment where safety and planning are prioritized. The company’s substantial investment in a new, expansive assembly shop reflects a commitment to providing the tools, space, and infrastructure needed to do high-quality work.

Work Environment

Work takes place in a large, well-organized fabrication and assembly facility that is non-climate controlled but maintained in a clean and orderly condition. The environment centers on industrial assembly and electrical work rather than field-based or rotating jobsites, so you go to the same location every day. The facility includes a 100,000 square foot assembly shop opened in late 2022, designed to support large-scale industrial projects. Typical hours are 7:00 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 7:00 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. on Friday, with overtime on Saturdays and additional hours during busy seasons, reaching up to approximately 65–70 hours per week when needed.
