Job DescriptionFleet Bodywork Fabricator & Paint Refinisher

Are you the go-to pro when a heavy truck rolls in with a crushed fender, a rusted frame section, or a trailer that needs a full refinish? Join a construction company that builds major civil infrastructure across the Tri-State area and invests in your craft through a safety-first culture, great tools, and clear paths for development.

What this role is about

You’ll handle end-to-end body and paint restoration for trucks, trailers, and heavy equipment—blending metalwork and welding with meticulous prep, primer, paint, and corrosion control. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with maintenance and operations to prioritize the repairs that keep the fleet safe, reliable, and project-ready.

• Coordinate workflow: partner with maintenance and operations to prioritize jobs, manage parts, and hit turnaround targets.
