Decon information

What is a decon?

A Decon (decontamination) job involves cleaning, sanitizing, and safely removing hazardous materials from environments exposed to contaminants. This role is common in industries like healthcare, hazardous waste management, and biohazard cleanup. Decon technicians wear protective gear and follow strict safety protocols to prevent contamination. Their work ensures spaces are safe for human use and helps prevent the spread of harmful substances.

What does a decon do?

A typical day for a Decon involves preparing and donning appropriate personal protective equipment, following established protocols to safely clean and disinfect areas, equipment, or materials that may be contaminated by hazardous substances. Decons often work as part of a team and may coordinate with supervisors, safety officers, or other specialists to ensure the thoroughness and compliance of their work. Daily responsibilities can vary based on the setting—such as hospitals, laboratories, or industrial sites—but generally include both routine and emergency response tasks. Effective communication and adaptability are important, as priorities may shift depending on contamination events or scheduled maintenance. This hands-on role provides valuable experience for those interested in advancing into supervisory positions or specialized fields within environmental health and safety.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the decon position?

To excel as a Decon (Decontamination Technician), you need knowledge of proper decontamination protocols, safety procedures, and the ability to work with hazardous or infectious materials, often requiring a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with personal protective equipment (PPE), specialized cleaning agents, and sometimes certifications like OSHA 40-Hour HAZWOPER are typically important. Attention to detail, teamwork, and strong communication skills are valuable soft skills. These competencies are crucial to ensuring a safe and compliant environment, protecting both people and property from contamination risks.

Job description

High-End Marine & Automotive Detailer

Ceramic Coatings | Paint Correction | Marine Protection Film

Marine & Automotive Detailer — Ceramic Coatings & Paint Correction
Riviera Beach, FL · Full-Time · $18–$30/hour DOE

DNA Surface Concepts is an advanced surface protection company working on sport fishers, center consoles, and high-end vehicles throughout South Florida. We're hiring a detailer who takes real pride in the finish and wants to build a career, not just fill a shift.

Experience helps, but attitude and consistency matter more to us. We train — paid, on the clock, from day one. What we can't train is showing up.

What you'll do

  • Detail marine vessels and automobiles to a high-end standard
  • Prep and apply ceramic coatings (decon, polish, panel wipe, install)
  • Multi-stage paint correction and gel coat work
  • Assist with marine and automotive protection film installation
  • Maintenance washes on client vessels
  • Keep the shop, tools, and product inventory in order

What we're looking for

  • Detailing experience preferred, not required — we'll train the right person
  • Marine or automotive background a plus
  • Ceramic coating, paint correction, or PPF experience moves you to the top of the list
  • Comfortable working around boats, docks, and lifts
  • Valid Florida driver's license and an insurable driving record
  • Reliable transportation and consistent attendance — our schedule is client-driven

Physical requirements
This is physical work. You'll stand, kneel, bend, and reach for most of the day, lift up to 50 lbs, run buffers and polishers for extended periods, and work outdoors and aboard vessels in Florida heat and humidity.

What we offer

  • $18–$30/hour depending on experience — including during paid training
  • Performance bonus opportunities
  • Paid time off after your first anniversary
  • Manufacturer training and certification opportunities
  • Clear path to advancement — our senior techs came up through this role
  • Overtime available and paid
  • Free on-site parking
  • A team that documents its processes so you're set up to succeed, not guessing

Schedule
Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM. Occasional early starts or Saturdays during peak season, paid as overtime.

Location
3750 Investment Ln #1A, Riviera Beach, FL 33404

To apply
Apply through ZipRecruiter and tell us two things: how long you've been detailing, and the job you're proudest of. If you have photos of your work, send them — we'd rather see the finish than read about it.
