  • Steady hand-eye coordination and the ability to work precisely under deadlines.
  • Commitment to workplace safety and willingness to follow established protocols.
  • Physical ability to stand, bend, lift materials, and work in varied site conditions.
  • A completed welding certification or trade training is a plus.
