Experienced Emergency Vehicle / EVT Upfit Technician Sands Automotive Group - Glendale, Arizona Two Positions Available | $5,000 Sign-On Bonus for Qualified Candidates What if your next EVT job could actually lead somewhere? If you're an experienced emergency vehicle or fleet upfit technician, you already know your trade.
The question is:
where can that experience take you next? Sands Automotive Group is expanding our rapidly growing Fleet & Upfit operation , and we're looking for two experienced technicians who want more than another job at a standalone upfit facility. We want people who see an opportunity to help build a department, contribute ideas, take pride in their work, and grow with a company that promotes from within. Sands has been family owned and serving Arizona since 1934 . Many of our current senior leaders began in entry level and frontline positions and built their careers within our organization. That's the kind of opportunity we want our growing Upfit Department to provide as well.
WHY SANDS?
WE'RE
BUILDING SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
Our Upfit Department is growing quickly and currently supporting major municipalities, government agencies, law enforcement organizations, and commercial fleets throughout Arizona.

A TRUE ONE-STOP FLEET SOLUTION.
Our customers can rely on one organization throughout the life of their vehicles:
VEHICLE SALES
→ UPFIT → SERVICE →
MOBILE SERVICE
→
COLLISION
→ PARTS →
