“I started at Metal Works back in Jan of 2006. During my time at Metal Work’s, it has been a great place to work as I have been able to advance and move up through the company with hard work and dedication. I started on the shop floor as a welder in the Misc. Department. I then work my way into Railing and Stair Department. Eventually being promoted to a Lead Position. From there I was able to advance into a Checker Position and began to really see the value of long-term employment here at the company. During my time as a checker, another position opened up in an entirely different department, for a Project Engineer position. I applied and was given another opportunity to show my value at another position in the company.
