Esteban Sandoval

Esteban is a 2022 graduate of the Local 206 Sheet Metal JATC San Diego apprenticeship program. His interest in the building trades was sparked through welding, and later developed into a pre-construction specialty while working as an Estimator and Mechanical Detailer.

Hired as a full-time instructor in April of 2023, Esteban has since earned AWS Certified Welding Inspector and OSHA Authorized Outreach Trainer credentials.

Esteban likes the trade because of the broad scope of work and skills required to be successful. He believes instruction is a great way to encourage others to be proactive about their own skills, and simultaneously strengthen Local 206’s workforce.

Outside of work Esteban enjoys spending his time outdoors, engaging in sports such as rock climbing and mountain biking.
