About Maddox + You:

As a Sand & Prep Technician, you would be working in a shop environment where your responsibilities will include:

• Sanding the surface of transformers to promote high adhesion of paint products.
• Using various hand tools and sub-surface products, completely prepare the surface in such a way as to promote a good finished product.
• Pressure washing off all oils and debris
• Taping-off all parts and components that should not be painted.
• Removing all plastic and tape after the unit is painted and set in the QC area.

This is not an assembly-line factory job. It’s a fast-paced, hard-working, but very rewarding environment where you will be part of a team of qualified technicians who rebuild industrial transformers. Maddox is a great American company which values honesty, integrity, and recognizes the men and women who serve our customers, build up the team, and value the company and culture we've built.

This can be an entry-level opportunity to get on board with a great company and is an ideal role for someone looking to build a career in a positive environment, with an employer who values and recognizes your strong character, stable lifestyle, and dedicated work ethic.
