Central Power Systems & Services is a privately held company with roots dating back to 1954. Our mission is forging long‑lasting partnerships by providing first‑class customer support. In our Generator Manufacturing Division, that starts with the care we put into every component.

A durable finish starts with a properly prepared surface. As a Sandblaster, you’ll use abrasive blasting equipment to remove rust, mill scale, and old coatings from metal parts and assemblies before they move to paint or powder coating. This is a hands‑on role for someone who takes pride in consistent work, pays attention to detail, and puts safety first. If you’ve worked in industrial painting, fabrication, or another manufacturing role, your experience can transfer to this position.

• Set up and operate abrasive blasting equipment in designated blast booths or work areas.
• Review work orders and drawings to confirm surface preparation and masking requirements.
• Protect threads, machined surfaces, and other areas that must remain free of blasting damage.
• Blast metal parts and assemblies to meet the specified surface cleanliness and profile.
• Inspect blasted surfaces for missed areas, contamination, or defects and complete rework as needed.
• Remove residual blast media and stage finished parts for paint or powder coating.
• Perform pre‑use equipment checks and report damaged hoses, worn nozzles, ventilation concerns, or other equipment issues.
• Follow site procedures for blast booth operation, dust control, respiratory protection, and safe material handling. Wear required personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Keep the work area clean and organized, return tools to their assigned locations, and coordinate priorities with the finishing team.

• Competitive pay
• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Training and professional development
• Career advancement opportunities
• Employee referral program

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Ability to follow written work instructions, safety procedures, and quality standards.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to work effectively as part of a team.
• Ability to wear required PPE, including respiratory protection, and complete applicable respirator clearance, training, and fit testing.
• Experience in abrasive blasting, industrial painting, powder coating, fabrication, or manufacturing preferred.
• Familiarity with shop drawings and experience operating a forklift or hoist preferred.

This position involves standing, walking, bending, stooping, kneeling, reaching, pushing, pulling, climbing stairs, and handling metal parts. Work takes place in an industrial manufacturing environment and may involve airborne dust, blast media, industrial noise, moving equipment, and temperature changes. Required PPE must be worn as directed. Additional duties may be assigned as needed.
