Craftsman with Character (CWC)

Internship Job Description

Why Pref-Tech?

“We are a family” is an often-used cliché in business. It rarely translates into amazing relationships where you feel encouraged, supported, and part of something greater than themselves. We aim to make the phrase have meaning. We aim to make “family” a core reason we attract incredible people, retain them, and collectively deliver unequaled quality and service to customers. If your heart and mind are pushing you to join a team who deeply desires to be the best in the world, has a long-game approach to business, prides itself on doing exceptional work, celebrates service to others, and is willing to invest in you, you should consider Pref-Tech.
