Our shop is very busy and can be hectic at times, and a successful employee in this position will be one who thrives in a fastpaced environment and displays a sense of urgency towards completing assigned tasks correctly. Experience with fabrication, warehouse work, a “hands-on type position”, as well as experience as a delivery driver and familiarity with the Greater Boston area are all definite plusses. There may be occasional overtime. We are a union fire protection contractor, and although this position is non-union, one of the many benefits this position has given employees in the past is experience working for a union sprinkler contractor to see if the sprinkler fitter trade may be of interest to them. In fact, many of the employees who have started in our shop, have transitioned into positions as apprentices for the Local 550 Sprinkler Fitters union. Our company offers a generous benefits package (once eligible), including paid holidays, medical and dental insurance, a 401(k) with a company match, and group life, short-term disability, and long-term disability insurance.
