Work Experience

Iron Worker

Ivey League Fabrication - Spanish Fork, UT

January 2023 to November 2023

I was put to the test in fabricating hand rail with little experience in rail fabrication. This was a challenge i took on and within a month I was maintaining a consistent average of 100 + feet of rail per 8 hour shift. I was able to keep the company caught up on projects they were behind on when first hired on. I was also skilled in fabrication of columns and beams for structural projects. Maintaining productivity is always my goal in time crunch situations and even trying to work beyond that set goal. Over the past 10 months with the company I've produced over 1,500 tons of structural steal and over 4,000 feet of rail with minimal errors.

I was certified in SMAW 4G, FCAW 3G giving me the privilege to weld structural steal, CJPs, and field welding on site. My experiences in Ironwork have given me skills to perform heights over 30 feet comfortably even in bad weather conditions. I work well with others and I always strive to learn new and better ways to perform.
