Specializes in supplying construction materials and services to a wide range of industries.
During the first six‑month rotation, participants work directly in the field as locksmiths and technicians, gaining practical experience with commercial locks, cylinders, hinges, closers, exit devices, and electrified hardware, as well as key cutting, troubleshooting, and safety practices. The second rotation focuses on estimating and blueprint reading, where trainees learn to read construction drawings, perform material takeoffs, use pricing software, and support bid preparation. In the third rotation, participants move to the office to create detailed CAD drawings, prepare submittals, develop hardware schedules, and learn code requirements. The final rotation introduces project management and construction coordination, allowing trainees to work with contractors and vendors, coordinate deliveries, visit job sites, and assist with change orders and project closeout.
By the end of the program, graduates will possess transferable construction skills, an understanding of both field and office operations, proficiency in reading plans, managing hardware, and overseeing jobs, positioning them for full‑time positions in technical field services, estimating, engineering/detailing, or project management, with a clear long‑term career path in a specialized trade.
The program seeks candidates graduating from technical high schools in carpentry, construction technology, facilities management, electrical, engineering technology, or metal fabrication, as well as two‑year college graduates in construction management, architectural or engineering technology, CAD, or building technology. Ideal applicants are hands‑on learners, mechanically inclined, strong problem solvers, motivated team players, and eager to learn a specialized trade; no prior door or hardware experience is required.
To apply, submit a resume, a brief statement of 150–250 words explaining interest in construction and the program, and optionally include sample CAD work, shop projects, or technical school assignments.
