As soon as you clock in your greeted by a 200 degree heat wave. The two molds that make up one half have to be heated to 400 degrees before material can be applied. within the first hour of being at work youve already sweat through your clothes. You learn quickly to keep money and valuables out of your pockets.
Like anything else the molds require maintenance and repair. Including any type of modifications or redesign. Removing old or damaged aluminum and preping surfaces for welding. After alterations are made. The surface of the mold must be sanded and in certain cases sand blasted. in some cases buffed and polished to provide a slick service.
We also fabricate all types of other metals as well. Why spend the money on something if we can build it. From material guns, to air supplys, to steel man hole covers. Each jobs holds a certain importance but must coordinate with the type expected to complete each task. After all its a production environment and must remain fast paced.

I’ve put quite a bit of time in at James marine. Had a lot of ups and downs a very big turnover rate. Jobs is hard work and definitely not for everyone. I really enjoyed my fellow employees they made the job with it and I look at them like family definitely spent more time with them than my family. The pay was good and jumped up fairly quickly in my hourly wage and they were very generous with their pay. You can work as many hours as you want pretty much so you can definitely make good money. My foreman’s over the docks were for the most part good bosses never really had too many problems there it was the upper supervision that I have problems with. Very childish and disrespectful. Expected you to put your job before your family and the whole reason I’m working the job was for my family. All in all James Marine as a whole is a good thriving business and the owners know what they’re doing. Just need new management

The most enjoyable part of my job with this company was my career as a welder. I enjoyed taking new certification courses, the building and repairs, and the principle of getting up everyday working in a field I love. Also, I periodically trained coworkers in equipment safety, and enjoyed the new daily challenges and resolving them. Not one day was the same as before. The hardest part about the job was not my job as whole but the management and environment as far as work moral that was complex and made the efforts I gave as a worker hard to enjoy daily and balance my personal life simultaneously. I received training and certifications within this company.

I drained water from flats used to put boats upon.Then sweep up the flats that had used welding rods,unused welding rods,metal shavings,and unused pieces of metal were placed in a pile for removal of flats.The most enjoyable part of that position was being outdoors.

worked 6am to 2:30pm. get to shop and get marching orders  then head down on the dock string to get on a boat and start work. a level is not required when doing construction on a tow boat, everything must be built to look level whether it really is or not. management was overdone, they spend more time telling you how to do the job than needed, and generally told you wrong. exposure to weather was the most difficult thing to deal with. on the river there is no middle ground, you go from one extreme to the other. most enjoyable thing was completing the job and getting compliments from the crews coming on to operate the vessel.

Very productive and easy to get along with the crew and my superiors. The hardest part of my job was nothing, I enjoyed every aspect of my work duties.  
A typical day at work was hard and long and I got dirty.
I learned that patience and hard work can be very rewarding.
The management was professional in their instructions.
I got along well with all my co-workers.
The hardest part of the job was knowing that we could be in danger of injuries if we did not use safety first.
The most enjoyable part of the job was getting paid and going home to my wife and family.

As long as working at James Marine, I learned many of things about fixing ships and vessels on the water as knowing what to do to fix them. I like working outside as well as inside, but the company around me, I can do without. There were some rude people working with me and at some point it got hard to ignore them because of the way they acted as well as said things. It taught me that being at my age, that there are cruel, mean, and uncaring people out there no matter where you go or what you do.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The camaraderie and seeing an accomplished task or goal to its end 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being under duress when the boat dock blew up. And two people
Lost their lives…

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Awesomely dangerous , busy and great net working 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Leave out at 7. And return around 4. So for me being at a halfway house in Paducah, it was the turning point I believe in my life

At James Marine, I started off as a tacker/welder. I quickly picked up on welding and moved quickly to welder. After a year of welding I was moved to fitter and this is where I really enjoyed my job. I was in charge of running fuel pipes as well as coolant lines to the tug boat engines. I also did a lot of structural repair to the tugs. Hardest part of the job was being out in the elements. Best part was the hard work, and leaving everyday feeling like you had done something productive.

A lot of good honest people work there. The company does it's very best to make sure they keep the best and keep the moral of it's employees there #1 goal. New and interesting environments each day, always something new to learn every time you clock in. Management willing to work with and around your family matters. Family oriented company with positive and honest morels
