Often cosmetic or surface painting of slides and elements to maintain premature wear / failure on foam and fiberglass.
• Complete work orders where fiberglass or foam failures have occurred. Using technical skills associated with the position, providing a balance between all stages of the repair. Whether foam or fiberglass there are 3-4 steps to be followed for proper repairs and time management is essential to the success of the repair. Most work is completed overnight which allows for operation the next day. Supports minor repairs for other maintenance teams when appropriate.
