Join a leading manufacturer of custom-built ambulances that supports cities and counties across the United States. You will contribute to meaningful, highly specialized products that play a critical role in emergency response. The organization offers a clean, well-organized facility with defined processes, clear expectations, and opportunities to hone advanced welding and fabrication skills while working on unique, custom projects.

The work environment is clean, well-organized, and structured around production cells dedicated to different assemblies of the ambulance. The weld and fabrication shop is located at the back of the plant, where all jobs begin. Work is highly deadline-oriented, with each cell receiving a list of tasks that must be completed within a three-hour production cycle to keep the line moving.
