About Maddox + You:

As a technician, you would be working in a shop and field environment where your technical and mechanical skills will be developed to simply repair or fully recondition dry-type and liquid-filled transformers.

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.

Your day-to-day activities will involve the evaluation, disassembly, reconditioning, and reassembly of electrical transformers; removing/replacing accessories, cleaning and repairing parts, replacing gaskets and seals, and performing basic MIG welding and metal fabrication. You will also be trained in basic electrical testing, as well as inventory evaluation, paint and quality control procedures.

This 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.
