Carbon Bodywork Technician

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.
