Are you looking for a role away from a desk, where hands-on tactile work is valued? We're looking for a mature, quality-driven individual to join our team as a Metal Finishing & Patina Specialist-a hands-on role with clear leadership potential in our standard products production line.
About the Role:
You'll work with a small, skilled team focused on applying patinas and finishes to metal components used across our core product lines. This is a process-oriented role where you'll:

- Evaluate visual and tactile finish quality with a highly trained eye
- Help onboard and train new team members as needed

What We're Looking For:- Experience in metal finishing, patina work, sculpture, fabrication, or studio-based material processes
- A strong visual sense and instinct for finish quality (e.g., color, texture, uniformity)
- Maturity, responsibility, and an organized approach to repetitive or process-based work
- Interest or experience in supervising, mentoring, or training others
- Ability to thrive in a collaborative, hands-on environment
- Bonus points for:
- Past work in a production shop or high-end fabrication environment
- Experience developing written work instructions or SOPsA background in sculpture, metals, or industrial design
- Bi-Lingual communicator
- Experience with ERP systems, or daily use of computers for communicating, tracking, and organization
What We Offer:- A creative, respectful, and detail-driven work culture
- Opportunities to grow into a leadership role
- On-the-job training in our specific finishing and chemical processes
- A chance to work with beautiful materials and make work you're proud ofCompetitive pay, benefits, and a stable role in an established, growing company
Schedule: 4 Day Work Week (6:30AM-5:00PM M-Th)
If you're someone who loves the marriage of art and process, who takes pride in quality, and who enjoys helping others do the same-we'd love to hear from you.
