Job description

Description

Jaxon is looking for a Sustainment Technician to join our team in Colorado Springs, CO.

Jaxon is the leading full-service provider of High-altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) services worldwide, delivering world-class engineering, testing, construction, and sustainment services. Jaxon offers an outstanding benefits package, competitive pay, and a culture that is unmatched. We collaborate and thrive on our core value of ownership. In both success and failure, we push to get better individually and as a team.

Salary: $24.00-$26.00 per hour plus per diems while traveling

Schedule: Full-Time with opportunity for OT

Travel Requirement: While this role is primarily a position located in Colorado Springs, a Sustainment Technician should be prepared to travel very often and as needed. Travel expenses are paid by the company.

Security Clearance Requirement: This role requires the ability and willingness to obtain a Department of Defense Top-Secret Clearance.

Benefits:

• Life insurance at 2.5 times annual base salary provided


• Excellent medical, dental and vision insurance


• Short- and long-term disability insurance provided


• PTO and paid holidays


• 401(k) match (up to 4% of salary)

The Jaxon Experience:

• Jaxon Kitchen Fridays, our monthly tradition where the team gathers for good food, good company, and a chance to unwind the work week together.


• Annual Golf Tournament that brings out everyone’s competitive spirit; pros, rookies, and “I’m just here for the cart snacks” people alike.


• A Christmas event like no other, legendary for a reason; traditions, surprises and the kind of magic only Jaxon can pull off. AND a Kids’ Christmas Celebration that brings out the joy, the crafts, and the wide-eyed wonder of the season.


• Super Bowl Party because friendly rivalry, good food, and loud cheering are practically part of our job description. And of course, the day after the super bowl is a company paid holiday, because we believe in recovery, rest, and reliving the best plays and commercials.

All the good times we talk about are here to build connection, not obligations. Participation is always optional, because ownership includes owning your time and your comfort level. Nothing in this section is meant to create a contractual benefit, just a glimpse into the way we show up for each other and make Jaxon more than a place to work!

Primary Duties:

• Refurbishment, maintenance, and testing of EMP protected assemblies, items and facilities


• Provide accurate, high-quality drafts of documentation


• Data reduction and analysis


• Operation of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and Ultrasonic Testing (UT) systems


• Electronic system troubleshooting


• Material procurement and inventory management


• General construction activities


• Perform maintenance activities by means of rope access


• Maintain strong, professional relationships with both internal & external customers


• Meet all applicable OSHA requirements

Requirements

Required Job Qualifications:

• Able to obtain and maintain rope access certification through SPRAT


• Proficient in using Microsoft office; especially Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint

• Reliable attendance and the ability to manage time and priorities


• High school diploma or equivalent

Desired Job Qualifications:

• Prior construction, maintenance, or electronics experience preferred

Who We’re Looking For:

• You take ownership, stay curious, and know that construction is a team effort. You’re proactive, detail-oriented, and always looking for ways to make things better.


• You communicate clearly, build trust, and are excited about Jaxon’s mission to serve customers and protect critical infrastructure.


• You follow the rules when they matter, but you’re not afraid to step up and solve problems when things get tricky. Jaxon is a unique company with a unique culture that uses unique solutions to solve problems.
