Since 2016, we've built a reputation for structural welding, pipefitting, millwright work, and equipment repair — backed by an in-house 3D scanning and CAD modeling capability that sets us apart from competitors in the region.

Position Summary

The Operations Specialist keeps the day-to-day business of Dauntless running smoothly — coordinating scheduling, customer communication, compliance documentation, and office administration so that the field and shop teams can focus on the technical work. This role is the central point of contact for customers, vendors, and subcontractor compliance platforms, and plays a key part in supporting bids, project tracking, and general business operations.

This is not a technical fabrication role, but it does involve regular time out of the office — visiting customer sites, meeting with clients face-to-face, and occasional field support. It's a great fit for someone with strong organizational skills, a customer-service mindset, and the ability to learn our industry's processes and terminology quickly.
