Travel Installer – Custom Lockers & Casework (Nationwide Projects)

Full-Time | Heavy Travel | Based out of Kansas City

At SHIELD, we design, build, and install premium custom locker rooms and healthcare casework for professional sports teams, universities, and world-class medical facilities across the U.S.

You can expect to:

• Install custom lockers, cabinetry, and specialty casework in athletic and healthcare facilities
• Use hand tools, power tools, and basic carpentry techniques daily
• Work as part of a tight-knit install crew to hit project deadlines
