Travel Installer – Custom Lockers & Casework (Nationwide Projects)

Full-Time | Heavy Travel | Based out of Kansas City

At SHIELD, we design, build, and install premium custom locker rooms and healthcare casework for professional sports teams, universities, and world-class medical facilities across the U.S.
