Additional Information
Have been in manufacturing settings for 10 plus years. Have been a pipe cutter, hydro tester, hazmat tank driver, and many other shop rolls. Have welded using tig, mig, flux, and stick. None of the welding I did was code welding. Was fresh out of welding school and didnt know much except how to run a bead. Learned alot in shop settings and would love to learn to code weld if given the opportunity. I am a very fast learner and adapt to new things. Currently making 30 dollars an hour and need close to that to consider.
