Job description

Maddox is the nation’s leading provider of electrical transformers to the commercial and industrial market, with primary locations in South Carolina, Washington State, Texas, Idaho, and Ohio. We have been recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest-growing companies in America for the past 8 years and counting.

Maddox was founded on Christian values, and we are serious about investing in the people, processes, and culture that make this a great place to work. We build real things, solve real problems, and expect professionalism, competence, and integrity from our team.

As an Inventory technician, you would be working in a storage and staging yard environment where your technical and mechanical skills will be deployed to test and evaluate 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 inventory technicians who test and evaluate 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 operating electrical test equipment and power tools to test, evaluate, disassemble, troubleshoot, and quality control electrical transformers. You will document test results, mechanical condition, dimensions, and accessories for each transformer. You will also operate forklifts and cranes to organize inventory, load, and unload transformers from flatbed trucks. Most of the job is spent on your feet, working with your hands, and outdoors whether rain or shine.

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.

More About You:

• You love working with your hands to fix things and troubleshoot problems.
• You get to the bottom of an issue so you understand exactly what is or is not working.
• You’re comfortable with digital documentation and web-based software systems (with computer & smartphone).
• You’re an excellent communicator; in-person, over the phone, and via email.
• You’re a quick learner; not a know‑it‑all.

Basics:

• This position works 40-45 hours per week on a 5-day schedule. All day-time schedule (not night shift). The schedule is 6:00 AM - 4:00 PM, Monday-Friday. Some additional paid overtime is available and occasionally mandatory during peak seasons.
• Employees are required to meet basic physical requirements for a heavy-equipment environment with 90% or more of the time on your feet and outdoors. Occasional exposure to confined spaces. Must know how to use basic hand tools, follow written instructions, operate a computer or tablet, etc.
• Paid time-off, paternity/maternity leave, 401k matching, health/wellness benefits, etc. Smoke-free, drug-free workplace.

Experience & Education:

We value skills and experience (welding, fabrication, general shop/mechanical skills, auto body prep/paint), but we’re also willing to invest in training early-career candidates with the right attitude and ambition.

Pay:

Starting package $56k-$73k (wages and bonus) plus a comprehensive full-time benefits package that averages more than an additional $20k/year per employee (individual amounts vary on age, family size, and other factors).

Pro Tip:

We get a LOT of applicants, so please write a few sentences telling us what stood out to you, and why you think you’d thrive in this particular opportunity.
