The desire or skill to work with mechanical concepts and enjoy “hands-on” challenging work in a fast paced work environment.
Good work habits – achieving acceptable grades and attendance in High School.
Have a good moral foundation.
A typical candidate may have completed “mechanical skill based” classes such as Automotive while in High School, and would have had extra-curricular activities such as sports, clubs, working on cars/trucks/ATV’s/motorcycles or a part-time job. Typical candidates would have experience working with hand tools and would know that they enjoy working with their hands and taking apart and properly putting things back together.
To be considered for the program, each candidate will go through a face to face interview, complete job specific testing and be given a tour of our Yancey Bros. Co. facility.
