Most shops weld steel.
We weld what they won't.

Arnold Quality Metal Works is a non-ferrous ornamental and architectural metals shop in Logan, Utah. Aluminum, stainless and bronze — the packages structural steel fabricators hand off because they do not self-perform them. We take applications from welders and fabricators continuously, because the good ones are never available on the week you happen to need them.

You will build things this shop
has not built before

Temples in Wyoming, Montana and Nevada. Glass guardrail through a high school. Four thousand eight hundred feet of stainless at an airport. Twelve-foot ornamental panels in a tower lobby. Stained glass window frames flown in by crane. Machined relief panels set into a cast stone facade.

That is not a menu of what you would be assigned. It is the evidence for a different claim: more than 170 completed projects, and the work keeps showing up in shapes nobody here has seen yet. New alloys, new finishes, new methods, new problems that are not solved when the drawings arrive.

If what you want is to run the same part on the same fixture until you retire, this is the wrong shop. If you want the next job to be something you have to think about, this is the right one — and either way, you get to point at a building and say you made that.

If you want to know whether the work is any good before you apply, read the project pages. They are specific on purpose.

01 — The trade

Aluminum and stainless are a different craft

Most welders coming out of school have run a lot of steel and a lot of MIG. That is the volume trade, and it will keep you employed.

Aluminum, stainless and bronze are not that. The puddle behaves differently, the heat goes where you did not invite it, the material moves while you watch, and the finish is part of the weld rather than something applied afterward. A bad bead on painted steel disappears under primer. A bad bead on a brushed stainless handrail is there for thirty years at hand height.

That is the skill this shop runs on, and it is portable, rare and worth more than it costs you to learn. If you can already do it, we want to talk. If you can weld and you want to learn it, say so in the form — we do professional on-the-job training and certifications, and that is a real path here, not a line in a job ad.

02 — The standard

Read these before you apply

Seven core values, written down long before this page existed. They are not decoration. They are the specific things people succeed and fail on here, so it is only fair that you see them first.

Honor

We do what is right, even when it is the hard choice.

Pride

In the work we do, paying attention to every detail. Pride in the things we are able to accomplish through power of will.

Respect

For our work, for the processes, and for our daily interactions.

Discipline

This is the oil that keeps our finely tuned machine moving forward and progressing.

Ingenuity

We will solve any problem that we face. We provide solutions, not excuses.

Industriousness

We focus on the task at hand and conquer every mission we accept. We will outwork everyone.

Attention to Detail

In all aspects of life and business, we know that nothing but our absolute best is acceptable.

If that reads like a lot to ask, it is. It is also the reason the work on this site looks the way it does.

03 — The path

Small enough to be noticed in

This is not a plant. There is no shift where you do one operation for a year. In a shop this size you will touch layout, fit-up, welding, finishing and, if you want it, field install in five states.

Our second-ever employee runs production today. Mike Hulse joined when the company was one person and a contract, and he is Director of Production now. That is not a fable we tell at orientation — it is just what happened, and the distance between the floor and a leadership seat here is still that short.

There is also a side of this trade that is not a torch. Shop drawings, inspection, AR-based dimensional verification against the model, running a package end to end. People who get curious about that part tend to find room here.

Pay is at or above market. High performers earn high wages. That is not a slogan about culture — it is how a shop this size keeps people who can do work other shops turn down.

The practical side: four tens, Monday through Thursday, so you get a three-day weekend every week. Overnight field installs come up as needed, not as a lifestyle. A 401(k) with a 4% match on a 5% contribution, paid time off, and paid holidays.

Apply

Tell us what you have welded.

Losers need not apply. Winners don't like losers, and losers don't like winners. We are here to Win!

A winner here is not the loudest person in the shop. It is the one who can look in the mirror and honestly say they are better at this than they were last year — and who is not finished. If that is not you, we are not for you.

No cover letter, no personality test, no PDF to download. If it takes longer than two minutes, we built it wrong. A resume helps but is not required — plenty of good hands do not keep one.

We read every one. If you are a fit, you will hear from a person, not an autoresponder.

Still in school?

We have built guardrail for the career and technical education high school in St. George — a building full of students training for the trades we hire from. If you are finishing a welding program, get in touch before you graduate, not after.
