THE PEOPLE I WORK WITH BEST ALL KNOW THREE THINGS:

1

Better projects come with more requirements.

2

Meeting requirements can not be luck.

3

Getting it right the first time is highly practical.

ABOUT ME

Engineer • CWI • CMfgE

I am a hands-on engineer and inspector who cares about precision and integrity in the welding and fabrication industry. I built A&L to stay intentionally small, people-focused, and committed to doing things the right way.

  • I’m Andrew Lindloff, a hands on Engineer (B.S. Welding Engineering Technology) and Inspector that believes in practical solutions that fit your needs. My time as a welder, fabricator and mechanic gave me valuable experience in how work is done. My time as an engineer and a leader gave me valuable experience on how to lead people and manage work. This balance allows me to bring 15+ years of well-rounded experience and perspective to all projects I get to work on. My experience and clientele allow me to wear different hats based on the project needs.

    As an AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) for the past 11 year and SME Certified Manufacturing Engineer (CMfgE) for the past 5 years, these credentials have helped me further my desire to continue learning. I am proud of American Manufacturing and am thankful that I get to support it through my work. I appreciate you being here and look forward to working together.
