Join Our Team
Gate work is real work. You show up at a house, size up what’s wrong – a sheared hinge pin, a burnt-out motor board, a weld that finally gave – and you fix it so well that the owner forgets the gate exists until they’re ready to sell the place twenty years from now. That’s the job. It’s not glamorous, and we don’t pretend it is. What it is: skilled, satisfying, and done right every single time – because that’s the only way Ironworks Gate Co. runs a job. If that sounds like the kind of work you want to do, keep reading.
Who We’re Looking For
- Gate Repair Technician – Someone who can diagnose a mechanical problem without being told what to look for, and who takes a broken gate personally.
- Gate Installer – A builder’s mindset: level, square, and patient enough to do it once rather than twice.
- Gate Motor and Opener Specialist – Comfortable with automation systems and willing to get certified on the brands we actually service – LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, Viking, and several others.
- Access Control Technician – Detail-oriented, good with keypads, intercoms, and low-voltage wiring, and understands that a security system that misbehaves at 6 a.m. is a real problem for a real person.
- Parts and Welding Technician – Someone who can strike an arc cleanly, fabricate a bracket from scratch if they have to, and treats metal with the respect it’s owed.
- Dispatcher or Customer Service Representative – The first voice a customer hears when something’s wrong. Calm, clear, and capable of making someone feel taken care of before a tech is even on the way.
What We Offer
Real Training and a Clear Path Forward
We don’t hand you a manual and wish you luck. New technicians come up alongside experienced ones, learning how the brands we service actually behave in the field – not just what the spec sheet says. The path from apprentice to lead technician is something you can see and plan for, and we’d rather promote someone who knows our standards than hire from outside every time a lead slot opens.
Work You Can Be Proud Of
The 90-Day Done Right Promise isn’t a marketing line – it’s the standard every technician is trained to. We don’t rush jobs, we don’t cut corners on materials, and we don’t leave a driveway until the gate closes the way it should. When you can put your name behind the work you do, that changes how the work feels. The K.E.Y.S. values code – Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it – is the same code whether it’s your first week or your fifth year.
A National Brand Behind a Local Crew
Ironworks Gate Co. operates across six states, which means access to training, parts sourcing, and technical support that a small independent shop can’t match. But the crew you work with is local, the calls you run are local, and the reputation you build belongs to your community. You’re not a number in a dispatch queue – you’re a technician your neighbors have heard of.
Steady, Consistent Demand
Gates don’t stop breaking because the economy shifts. Driveways need service whether the market is up or down, and the combination of repair, installation, automation, and access control work means there’s rarely a slow stretch that can’t be filled. We’ve been doing this since 1984 – the demand was there at the start and it hasn’t stopped.
No Experience? Read This.
If you’ve spent years in HVAC, auto mechanics, construction, low-voltage electrical, or any trade where you showed up, diagnosed something, and fixed it with your hands – you’re closer to this work than you think. The mechanical instincts transfer. The respect for a customer’s property transfers. The habit of doing a job until it’s actually done transfers.
What we teach: the specifics of gate hardware, the nine automation brands we’re certified on, how to read a wiring diagram for an access control panel, and how Ironworks runs a job from arrival to close-out. Your first months will be in the field alongside a lead technician. You’ll learn by doing, not by watching videos in a conference room. If you’re willing to learn it right, we’re willing to teach it right. That’s a square deal, and we mean it.
