Your Launch into Technical Careers

Are you a recent graduate or trade school student looking to start your technical career? Do you want hands-on experience working with real industrial equipment, not just the classroom? Proconex is hiring entry-level Field Service Technicians to join our fast-growing team at Atlantic Valve Services (AVS).

This is a launching pad. We'll train you, mentor you, and give you the skills to advance into lead technician, supervisor, or sales engineering roles within 1-2 years.

  • Support skid assembly and mechanical equipment projects

Be honest with yourself: This job is physical, outdoor-focused, and hands-on. You'll work in all weather conditions. If you want a desk job, this isn't it. If you're ready to build real technical skills, let's go.

  • Physical ability to lift up to 50 lbs and work outdoors in all conditions

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
