What are the responsibilities and job description for the Carbon Bodywork Technician position at PRECISION SHOOTING EQUIPMENT, LLC?
PSE ARCHERY | TUCSON, AZ | FULL-TIME
CARBON BODYWORK TECHNICIAN
Body shop hands. Carbon fiber parts. A steady hourly paycheck.
If you can take a panel from rough to paint-ready and spot a pinhole from across the booth, we want to talk to you. PSE has built bows in Tucson since 1970, and our carbon fiber handles need the same skills you already use every day: filling, block sanding, prepping and spraying. No flat rate. No waiting on parts or insurance approvals. Just steady work, real benefits and a product people are proud to shoot.
Hourly, not flat rate
Your paycheck does not depend on how many jobs come through the door this week.
Full benefits
Health, dental, vision, 401(k), PTO and life insurance.
Learn composites
We train you on carbon fiber. It is a skill that travels with you.
