Skilled trades jobs in North America
On the shop floor, skilled hands make the difference. Our teams in the United States and Canada work on engines and equipment used in power generation and gas compression. Machine parts, assemble engines, or build container solutions for gensets: your hands turn drawings into technology that powers data centers, electricity grids, and industry. Bring your craft, build on it, and work with people who help you keep getting better.
