It's a fast-paced, hard-working, but very rewarding environment where you will be part of a team that moves and organizes industrial transformers. Maddox is a great American company that 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.

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.
