ADX Seeks Shop Master
February 15, 2011
ADX is seeking a seasoned shop master to help maintain and operate our wood and metal shops. This part-time position is perfect for a retired shop class instructor, a wood or metal working enthusiast with the experience and know-how to back it up, or a prototyping genius with a stellar portfolio.
As our Shop Master, you’ll work at ADX on a part-time basis (approx. 25 hours/week) to help operate and maintain equipment, oversee members’ projects, and, if interested, even teach classes and workshops like “Metalworking 101,” for instance. Special consideration and additional hours will be offered to professionals with experience running CNC routers.
The right candidate for this position is one ready to help us build a culture of learning within our shop. He or she will be one that can be seen as the go-to person for advice for any given situation and one the members of our shop can look up to. We are excited to find that right person!
Qualified candidates must have:
- At least 10 years experience operating and maintaining a variety of large tools
- Stellar communication skills
- Willingness to get dirty
- Friendly and accessible demeanor
- Flexible hours including weekends (this is a part-time position but may require infrequent on-call maintenance)
ABOUT ADX:
Equal parts workspace and incubator, our membership-based 10,000SF facility unites a number of creative disciplines under one roof – giving the community an accessible, collaborative, supportive site for creative work. From wood and metal shops, to co-working desks, to private art studios (housed in swanky vintage travel trailers), ADX’s amenities offer the opportunity for designers of all stripes to explore their craft, prototype products, enlist the support of industry experts, and display and sell work in an adjacent gallery. ADX also provides a diverse schedule of classes and a range of programming. Memberships are available for those wanting to utilize the space and equipment on a part-time basis. Members can then choose between hourly, daily, and monthly use of the wood shop, metal shop, and other production areas.
