Should You Apply? Are you a fit?
Can you do the job?
Critical thinking skills, strong communications skills, and lots of follow up. Are you able to challenge yourself and others in a positive way and get results? We don’t care how many degrees you have, where you went to school, or your past accomplishments.
Do you want to do the job?
Is this your passion? Manufacturing massive complex assemblies, meeting deadlines, and moving the needle for big jobs that make a big difference is our passion. If your passion is singing… well there is always AGT.
Do you fit the culture?
A good sense of humor is must. We want to hire people who will pick us up when we have a bad day and vice versa. A person that will listen to us vent instead of pilling on. Nothing ever goes perfect, however things are easier if you’re surrounded by coworkers who care and are there to help.
If you are in doubt… call for a phone interview. We will take the time to discuss in detail.
