• • Skilled in measuring, cutting, leveling and alignment; able to read basic plans and layouts
• • Experience with steel framing for interior/exterior partitions and exterior cladding installation
• • Able to lift 50+ lbs, work at heights, and follow site safety rules; reliable attendance and punctuality

Qualifications
