Metal Finishing + Patina Specialist

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:

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:

• 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

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.
