n
- A solid understanding of sheet metal fabrication and weldments
n
- Ability to read, interpret and produce engineering and manufacturing drawings
n
- Comfortable with rapid changes in daily priorities in a small-business workplace

This is a rare opportunity for an early-career engineer to get real breadth, design, production, and commercial exposure, in a business that will invest in growing your skills across engineering and technical sales. You'll work closely with senior engineering staff and management, with a clear path to take on more ownership as you develop.
n If you're eager to learn, practical, and want to directly influence how things get built, we'd love to hear from you.
