I am an experienced welder/fabricator looking for employment with a company that is growing but is also firmly grounded in the pursuit of producing quality products in their line of business. I am greatly frustrated with the lack of focus on integrity and quality in the factory environment, feeling a strong need to join with a business where my talents will be greatly utilized and I can continue to grow in my chosen profession. My life long love has always been in creating things, welding and fabrication allows me to do this in many ways. As u will see in this resume I am experienced in many other areas other than welding such as construction and mechanical know how which have greatly helped in my experience as a fabricator and even designer. I hope that in this resume I will grab your attention to the fact that I am the right man for the job you have and we can have a long and successful partnership together.
