SASCO (an electrical contractor) is running day and night crews like crazy at LAX . Project started just over a year ago and I'll assume it's gonna be another 4 years before the end is in sight . Good Luck .

The shop I work for has been doing RV chassis repair & truck repair for over 30 years.  We have built up a reputation both on-line and word of mouth for being the "go to" for chassis tuning, along with Workhorse warranty and basic maintenance.  But now the owner has hooked up with Western RV "Alpine Coach" as a warranty shop requiring us to get involved in more coach related repairs. 

We are looking for a qualified RV tech that has experience in RV repairs (plumbing, a/c, refridgerators, generators, electrical) and can also do chassis type work as needed.

If anyone knows of someone who has might be interested send me a PM or come by the shop and fill out an application.

Ive never ran a mill before but i have a little bit of experience on a shitty lathe that ive made a couple spacers and do-dads on. Ive never been taught how to run one by an expert. Ya i just started working with the Industrial electric company. Its slow and no work means no money. We pretty much deal with big factories. alot of 220 480 stuff.
