I've read a few posts of HAMBer's that are down on their luck and out of a job at the current time and with the vast amount of knowledge thats floating around this message board I'm sure that there are a few of you that are looking for work or just a change from what they are doing now. We are looking for people with experience with sheet metal fabrication, TIG, MIG and Oxy/Acetylene welding, or any other street rod building experience. Some of the additional perks of this job are the opportunity to expand your skills because as an employee you are encouraged to use the shop after hours to gain more experience. Experience with equipment such as English wheels, planishing hammers, power hammer (yodder like), Pullmax. Also as part of your employment the company often (few times a year) brings in experts in the field to offer some professional development, some of the experts in the last two years have included Ron Covell (metal shaping), Fay Butler (metal shaping), Jon Kosmoski (custom painting), Craig Frasier (custom painting), Steve Martinez (custom painting), Bob Spina (Pin Striping). The job is for an instructor of a street rod building and custom fabrication class; we currently have three positions open in that department. I know that I have increased my skill level by about ten times since coming to work here and it's nice to have a place to put my cars together with tools that i could never afford. If anyone is interested let me know and i will e-mail you an application as well as some more details.
HOLY CRAP that sounds like a great job. i suppose you need to have some type of teaching degree?? whats it pay? man, i bet i'll never talk the wife into that move .. fill me in... Mike
There is no teaching degree required but you do need a few years experience, even if it were home built stuff it would apply as long as it's in this field(custom fabrication). As far as pay goes it's not bad but being able to use the shop is about the best fringe benefit there can be for a true hot rodder. Usually the school will pick up the moving expenses, up to a point.
