Students in Joab Owen’s welding classes at John Stark Regional High School visited HP Fairfield, “The Snow-Plow People,” in Contoocook, to get an up-close look at the many phases and trades involved in building a highway snowplow. The students were able to see several vehicles in various phases of their build and also learned about the career opportunities available at HP Fairfield after high school, in welding, electrical, and hydraulic systems as well as Fairfield’s robust “learn as you work” program.  Fairfield is the leading provider of public works and private sector trucks and maintenance products, parts, and services in New England.
