- Clean, consistent MIG beads on steel; stainless and/or aluminum experience preferred

- TIG on stainless or aluminum
- Floating / mono-stringer / complex stair experience

- Bilingual English/Spanish
WHAT YOU GET
- Competitive hourly pay matched to skill ($25-$40/hr range)
- Weekly direct deposit
- Steady year-round work
