You'll have the opportunity to learn fabrication, automation, electrical troubleshooting, and access control while working on unique residential and commercial projects throughout San Diego.

If you're the kind of person who enjoys building things, fixing things, and going home knowing you accomplished something tangible, you'll fit right in.
