there and complete the job to the best of my abilities. I am qualified to weld pipes on a 45 degree angle or 6G position. I can also help assist fitting pipes
fairly efficiently.I am 22 years old and already very passionate and dedicated to this type of work. My aspirations to become a great welder and live a long
prosperous life are very Strong. I strive and pray to become a better person then the one I was yesterday. I am committed and determined to becoming a highly

I'm looking for stainless pipe welders. Please call Tradesmen International (877)672-8444.

Hey,

Hope somebody can help you out.

Good luck,

Mick

Sooo... Who do we have from Tradesman on our forum?

Must be a general recruiter. Usually you at least get "email jdoe@"

You are welcome here, but you could be less anonymous. I know several recruiters from the majors, including four who quit Tradesman, personally.

Hey,

Are they a company that do labour hire for jobs?? If so, there is a company in Australia that does that. Called SKILLED Engineering. Known in Union circles as (s)KILLED our permanent flexible workforce.

Hey david welcome to the forum. I'm out of UA local 145. Just curious are u working out of local 421 as an apprentice/journeyman. Or did they just offer their facilities for non- union hands. Just curious, again welcome.

UA 421 had a pipe welding school and I learned to stick pipes there. North Carolina is a non-union state so I do not think they are very popular around here. I am being trained in a shop and getting really accustomed to working with tig torches. Mainly AL and SS. I am open to new opportunities and hope to master welding in all forms on all materials. I only have a few pictures of recent welds. I try and stick pipes in my freetime and tig/mig at work.
i have had all bad experiences with temp agencies. tradesmen International are not Tradesmen.I don't play that bureaucratic bullshit
