RoadGuard is an Equal Opportunity Employer. A couple of things I intentionally changed for

Indeed:

I moved 2+ years, MIG, Stick, blueprint reading, and structural steel much higher because those are the qualifications you want candidates to self-screen against. I also removed some of the repetitive corporate language and made highway/guardrail experience a plus rather than the focus , so you don't unnecessarily shrink the welder/fabricator pool.
