- Communicate with project managers, customers, vendors, and field personnel to resolve issues and keep work moving
- Travel to project sites as needed, approximately 60% of the time
What We’re Looking For
- 5 years of experience in millwright work, agricultural construction, structural steel, industrial equipment installation, or grain-handling systems
- Previous experience as a Foreman, Leadman, Crew Lead, or Superintendent preferred

- Willingness to travel and work overtime when project schedules require it
- OSHA 10/30, welding certifications, rigging certifications, CDL, or NCCER credentials are a plus
