I have a good friend who is an expert plater. Basically he can plate anything on anything including gold straight to titanium without a nickle strike first, a process he developed himself along with many others, even can plate carbon fiber
Most of his work has been with aerospace/satellite parts, and military parts including parts for Sandia National Labs who is the customer who needed gold straight to titanium without a prior strike since nickle has a tendency to flake with the temperature fluctuations involved in spaceflight. so used to very close tolerances and dealing with milspec, etc....
He was laid off a couple years back and even though busting butt looking locally, there just isn't that much high tech plating here in town and it's not like bumper plating ....... to be very understated.....
Anyway, the help needed....I know there are job sites that specialize in highly skilled trades but I don't know what they are, hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction so I can help him get his resume out there in the big world, not just little ol Tuk-Shon no matter how much I love this town.
He's more than willing to relocate if needed and will start out low to prove his skills just in case someone here needs a very high quality plater with knowledge of aerospace and military work ...
Anyway, if anyone either knows of a good site to use, or a job opening somewhere, let those suggestions rip...
Thanks in advance for being the helpful lovely Kossaks I know you are...
Lets try to help my buddy get a job in his field, he's been out too long and it's starting to wear on him.....
