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, focused on the Front Range of Colorado. 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.

“Andrew combined detailed AWS code expertise with working hands-on alongside our welders to strengthen our certification program, improve weld quality, and address complex technical issues. We have been working with Andrew since 2023."

JACOB K
Quality Manager, Dept. of Defense supplier

“Andrew is easy-to-work-with and gets the job done. Six stars.”

J. MARSHALL
Owner, Prototype Manufacturing

  • “Steel construction in Colorado springs carries an inherent responsibility to assure quality and maintain accountability.  As a business owner, skilled labor and especially principled CWIs have become harder and harder to come across. The demand for anything welded hasn’t slowed, and neither has the need for professionals who safeguard standards.  Working with A&L over the years reinforced one simple truth; Choose your partners wisely.

    Andrew does more than identify issues and qualify welders, he delivers practical solutions that keep projects moving without compromising safety, compliance, or quality. In this industry, that level of professionalism isn’t just necessary, its entirely essential.”
