About The Position

If you know your way around a shop, take pride in what you build, and would rather work on something custom than crank out the same thing all day, SHIELD might be a good fit. SHIELD is a Kansas City manufacturer building custom products for some pretty recognizable clients. Our work can be found in locker rooms for top NFL, NBA and NCAA teams, as well as healthcare spaces across the country. This is hands-on fabrication work. Our projects are custom, which means you'll work through different materials, builds and challenges instead of doing the same repetitive task every day. We're looking for someone who can jump in, work hard, pay attention to the details and take pride in sending good work out the door.
