Job search - Metal fabrication


Where: outside of the GVRD, preferably in Nelson, Tofino, the Gulf Islands, the Sunshine coast, Haida Gwaii, or Whitehorse.

What: preferably, but not necessarily, as an assistant to a artist with their own wetal fab ticket.

- metal props
- metal sets


My mad skillz include
- blueprint reading
- first aid level 1
- Workplace Hazardous Material Information System
- HILTI nailgun
- gas-metal arc welding
- cutting torch
- plasma cutter
- brazing
- forklift
- metal lathe
- fine metal work
- estimating loads for cranes
- paint-room use
- respirator use
- fall-harness
- most of the equipment in a metal shop
- driving

I'd very much appreciate any advice on where to look.

For some reason I thought you were on the west coast of canada. The work i could get you would be more like homophobes, racists and misogynists.

Yup. I'm in Vancouver.

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll find work over here.
