  • Collaborate with fleet technicians, body repair technicians, and paint technicians to ensure equipment is prepared on schedule.
  • Assist with additional shop duties as needed.

  • Ability to identify corrosion, rust damage, and surface defects.
  • Experience working around steel, aluminum, and other metals.
  • Familiarity with industrial paint preparation processes.
  • Ability to safely operate compressors, blasting equipment, forklifts, and shop tools.
  • Knowledge of OSHA regulations, respiratory protection, PPE requirements, and hazardous waste disposal procedures.
  • Ability to lift up to 50 pounds and work in physically demanding environments.
  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to produce consistent, high-quality work.
  • Ability to work independently and efficiently in a fast-paced shop environment.
