Job Description:
Job Description Job Description Western Welding Academy is on a
mission to build a better generation of blue-collar craftsmen. We
are forging the next generation of skilled welders through an
unwavering commitment to work ethic, accountability, and integrity.
By focusing on student outcomes, we provide industry-leading
education and hands-on training in a real-world environment,
preparing our students to meet and exceed the demands of the
welding industry. At Western Welding Academy, we believe
wholeheartedly in our mission because we understand the fundamental
role blue-collar tradespeople play in the fabric of America. This
country was built on the backs of skilled workers—men and women who
put in the hard labor that made our roads, bridges, buildings, and
industries possible. Blue-collar men and women are the backbone of
our economic system, vital to every sector from manufacturing to
infrastructure. However, for too long, our nation has focused
predominantly on white-collar jobs and the push to send every young
person to college, leaving skilled trades underappreciated and
underrepresented. Today, we are facing a monumental shift. A
worldwide demographic collapse is causing industry and
manufacturing to return to American soil, and yet, we lack the
skilled labor force needed to meet the immense demand. Even before
this shift, there was a substantial need for skilled tradespeople,
but now, with global supply chains crumbling and reshoring becoming
a necessity, the demand for welders and other skilled workers is
skyrocketing. At Western Welding Academy, we see this as our
mission, to equip the next generation with the skills they need to
thrive, to build strong careers, and to restore the backbone of
America's industrial strength. We are committed to filling this
gap, one welder at a time, because we believe that the future of
our country depends on the hands of those willing to build it.

(lighting, locks, signage, common areas). Assist with busy
check-in/check-out periods; provide observational support. Document

supervisor on escalation; law enforcement contact remains with
leadership unless directed. Lead one “Safety Improvement”
mini-project (e.g., lighting checklist, signage audit, visitor
process tweak) with a brief before/after summary. What you’ll learn
Situational awareness, de-escalation and professional communication
under pressure, incident reporting, policy enforcement without
escalation, evidence-preservation basics, and working effectively
within an organizational structure. What you bring Calm, respectful
communication; good judgment about when to disengage or escalate.
Accurate note-taking and comfort with templates/logs. Reliability
for evening/weekend shifts as needed; teamwork with tenants, staff,
and vendors. Integrity, discretion, and willingness to follow
PPE/safety guidance. Nice to have: basic familiarity with
radios/phones and simple spreadsheets. How success is measured
