Job description

Do you find satisfaction in transforming raw materials into beautifully finished surfaces? Are you someone who combines creative instinct with a disciplined, methodical approach? 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 :

  • Apply and refine finishes using chemical patinas, hand techniques, and mechanical tools
  • Develop and document repeatable finishing processes for consistency and quality
  • Evaluate visual and tactile finish quality with a highly trained eye
  • Help onboard and train new team members as needed
  • Contribute to a studio culture that values both craftsmanship and community

Over time, this role can grow into a supervisory position , and we're especially interested in candidates with team leadership experience in production, studio, or shop environments.

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 SOPs
  • A 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 of
  • Competitive 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.
