  • Assisting with site inspections and quality control

What They're Looking For

  • Background in industrial mechanical environments
  • Experience with heavy piping, manufacturing facilities, plant upgrades, or similar
  • Shipyard or mechanical military experience will be seriously considered
  • Strong organizational skills and a practical, problem-solving mindset
  • Preferred but not essential :
