FrancisFord,
It has to be for the Navistar MSU contract on the MaxxPro Combat Vehicle.
Many recruiters and GDLS/ForcePro are trying to man the job but I doubt that they still need 50 welders. Each truck requires 40 hours of weld time and is quite labor intensive.
The pay has decreased recently but it will still be six figures....and it is a 10 month contract. The overall 'climate' here is going down hill...fast.
As the withdrawal of the troops nears and it is looking like it will be accelerated, the silliness intensifies.
Still, if someone needs a job and can put up with alot of rules and some nonsense, it is an adventure. Free transportation, tent and chow too!
Because of the pay cuts in Af. it has been difficult to fill the skilled jobs here. You can pay an oil changer at Wal-Mart 80K to come here and he if more than happy (not mocking WM oil changers) but skilled welders and CWI's aren't jumping at 110K/yr for 7/12's.
Any questions, feel free...
