Position Requirements
What began as his small plumbing and heating business quickly evolved to include machining, welding, fabrication, and an LP gas supply branch. Eventually Paul, with the help of his 6 sons, developed and produced lines of agricultural equipment to include grain transport augers, seed corn detasselers, self powered agricultural sprayers, soil conditioners, and grain legs. At the same time, Paul's functioned as a well equipped job shop, hiring and training multi-disciplined employees to handle the ever increasing variety of projects entrusted to the shop. In response to new market opportunities, Paul's directed it's evolving engineering, manufacturing and millwright capabilities toward a host of industries including packaging, food processing, printing, grain handling and storage, and mining equipment.
