HELP!.jpg


All this and; an exo, front and rear prerunner bumpers, and another four link job due to come in, in August!

Metalwerx is need of someone, part time or full time. Mechanical skill a must. Fab skills a plus, but aptitude and attitude is most important! This is an entry level position. However the right guy wont stay entry level long! You wont start out sweeping floors here. You'll immediately be fabricating and/or learning to fabricate. (I prefer you don't have any pending legal charges!)

We are located in Hickory. We are more covered up than ever, and need immediate help!

PM, Text, Email or stop by. 7o4-575-I3O7 More info in the signature!

yea, except takin' em in doesn't pay...it's movin' em out that pays!
 
You have a place for a 19 year old gear head to live? I'd love to ship one of my twins up there to work for you. He just finished two years in machine tool through the local High school and enjoys fabricating..... Good Luck!

Don't know about expenses but you can mileage,but the 6 hour round trip isn't very attractive.
 
Have you talked to the local community college welding instructors?

We usually know of a few people looking for work with a strong desire to work, whether it's current students or people already employed somewhere and wanting a change.

Good luck scott.
 
Thanks!

Have someone talking to an instructor at one of the schools now. Used to be a motorsports program here at CVCC, but its gone. Just my luck!:(

That's really the kind of guy this job is suited for. Young guy. No family expenses. Earn as you learn. Sadly, I cannot pay $15 an hour to teach someone to fabricate. So it is not suited for a guy with an a lot of bills...established family, house payments, big car payments, and such.

I get a lot of "welders" applying. Most of them are just "welders". They turn the machine on in the morning and sit at a bench or a jig and weld all day. Welding is only maybe 10% of what fabrication is. And we do as much mechanical as well. (I do everything from sliders to turnkey rigs. Even NASCAR doesn't have people like that anymore anymore!) Trouble for me, is I don't expect to find a guy that can come in here and do what I can do right away. (If I did I could probably pay him pretty well starting off!) I raced my own dirt cars as well as worked for race teams in Ohio for 20 years for little or no pay, 6-8 hours a day, in the evening and weekends, after the daytime paying job. (And that was the era when we laid the chassis and cages, hung the body, sheet-metaled the interior, built the suspension, wired, plumbed, built the driveline, painted and pitted the car every week!) That's where I learned to do the things I can do. After I had been down here several years, some of the NASCAR teams I ended up working for as a fabricator, would put you out in the shop, toss ya a couple of pieces of scrap tube and say "fit this together at about a 30 degree angle and weld it together"! That separates the "welders" from the "fabricators"!

The search continues...
 
I am still asking students Scott. The modern young student thinks from tv and the innerwebs they are gonna crack 40k first sparks they toss.

I get blank stares. "Well that's why I came to school to make the big money"......

I get tired of "gas junky, diesel dicks, and pipe dreams".

Day time hours, right?
