The opportunity

The general ground is shifting, and Public Affairs Institute wants a Welder in VA who sees CDL License as the way through. The mid-level role rewards what you've built — 5 years of Work Ethic — with $84,000 - $117,000 and a voice in Public Affairs Institute strategy.

Key Responsibilities

  • Keep your Surveying edge sharp as the VA market shifts
  • Juggle metrics-driven priorities without dropping the ones that matter
  • Run point on general incidents until they're truly resolved
  • Pressure-test assumptions before they harden into expensive mistakes
  • Own the follow-through after the general meeting ends
  • Keep mid-level expectations grounded in what the temporary role can deliver

What You'll Bring

  • Experience translating Fall Protection complexity for a non-technical audience
  • The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
  • Professionalism, integrity, and discretion with sensitive information
  • Mid-level mastery of Grading, validated by people who'd hire you again
  • The patience to mentor without taking over the keyboard
  • Pattern recognition earned across many general engagements
  • The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve

We are Public Affairs Institute, a mentorship-focused general company headquartered in Arlington, VA. Around here, "I don't know yet" is a perfectly respectable sentence and often the start of something good.

Pulled forward to the top of the queue today, so your timing is good.
