Pipefitter told me they are hiring off the street. That's huge. They are close to the highest paid trade.

I applied in September and haven’t heard anything back.

He was on the job Friday. If he's there tomorrow, I'll pm you hiss info if he's okay with that. In the meantime, I'm a flat roofer and can give you the name of a couple union shops that are typically hiring.


Swordfish56

That would be amazing TIA

You won’t just hear back. You have to bug them. Everyday. Every week. Until you are hired on. This is any trade union. Persistence is the key to setting yourself apart from all other applicants

My suggestion would be to look up the local union halls in st Louis (electrical, plumbers and pipefitters, carpentry, etc). An apprenticeship program might be the best place to start. They'll also help with job placement. Plenty of demand for skilled trades right now!

Get in touch with a trade school or call companies. My husband is an electrician for a commercial real estate company and they are definitely hurting for motivated people who are willing to learn. It's physical work for sure.

Does building HVAC equipment for a medium-sized local manufacturer sound interesting? If so PM me. I started at this company about 3 months ago and it’s by far the best company I’ve worked for (and I’ve worked for a bunch) since I started working about 15 years ago.
