Safety Manager

Due to growth, we are expanding our team! Does it feel like we are always looking for help? Because we are, we are growing and expanding (drive on by you will see all that is happening!).

We're a family-owned steel fabricator based just outside of York, NE. We specialize in substation and transmission line projects. We are a team and we celebrate our team. We strive to pay competitively and offer full benefits. We are far from corporate, family owned and operated, stable and secure, we have never had mass layoffs. We work hard, hard work and dedication are values that run deep (but, we are also off every Friday at 3:30 because, you know, we also like to have fun!)
