Trailer Decking-Basic Carpentry

12152 Washington Hwy, Ashland VA

Description

Hi my name is Ken, I started a company called Bigfoot Trailers out of the one I ran in Florida and were starting a second location here in Ashland. The factory here is starting small, only planning to have five employees for the first couple months. That means I have the opportunity to work closely alongside each of you and not only train you to do your job as efficiently as it can be done but to recognize your potential, teach you new skills, give you more responsibility and therefore compensation. On multiple occasions I've assisted people that I recognize to have drive and potential to the next higher skilled and paying position for example deck man to painter to welder to being a welder with an added responsibility like purchasing steel to production manager. As for the job, Its wiring and decking two trailers/day which is an easily attainable feat, I set you up for success with thorough training. The veteran decking team member in Florida does 6/day. In addition to the main job there are some responsibilities such as unloading the occasional truck using one of our forklifts and cutting steel with a table mounted chop saw. In this position you have your hand in multiple parts of the process and are appreciated by the welders for the cutting you do for them and you are at the end of the production line, getting to put the final touches on the high-quality product that we have built our company culture around. Our focus is to build the best equipment trailer in Virginia and then the East, and then the United States while growing more capable and stronger as manufacturers as well as men. We take one day out of each month, we call them Fortification Days, where we deliberately tidy up the shop and work on ideas we've come up with to improve our efficiency at each of our stations. That being said requirements for any position in my company is the willingness to be present mentally because I want your creativity to assist you and the rest of the team. I'd also prefer you to have the most basic of fabrication skills before you start BUT if you don't have them I can provide some links to videos you could watch on how to read a tape, a square and basic terms relevant to our industry. If you're a young, quality driven, ambitious tradesman with a desire to be better or you would like to become one, you have a place here at Bigfoot where you wont be overlooked, wasted or underappreciated. Come grow with us.
