Who Wants a Job?

Job title: Entry level (or higher) model maker/machinist

What you need: Motivation, tools, U.S. citizenship

What we provide: Coffee, soda, tea, water, training, opportunity. Money stuff can be discussed in person, but our employees do get paid.

What we do: ModelWerks is difficult to put a label on. I could say design and prototyping, and talk about wake boards, water skis, kayak paddles and other stuff. We design it, we make tooling to produce it. Sometimes we get to play with it. I could talk about wind tunnel models, and how we design and build them before going to the wind tunnel to help install them. I could talk about short-run production, cutting cores for molded products. I could talk about stuff that would get me in trouble, so I won't.

What we want: Someone who likes to do new things. We usually only do things once, so something new is usually as close as the next part. Someone who believes co-workers are on their side, ready and able to help or give advise as needed. Someone who understands that while making cool parts is, well, really cool and fun to do, everybody is in the shop working to help generate profit. No profit=no money=no more jobs, and that sucks for everybody. Someone who is able to be told a certain way to do things, and then execute the instructions given. Someone who actually wants to show up to work every day and prove there's still somebody in the U.S. who can trade a day of work for a day of pay. Someone with an open mind and active imagination.

What we can do without: People afflicted with workalittlewalkalittleitis. People who are incapable of working as soon as they start talking. OK, only if they insist on talking during work time. People who bathe once every two weeks, whether they need it or not. People who don't brush their teeth because they pay the dentist to clean them twice a year. People who are always borrowing lunch money from everybody because they blew theirs at the casino/bar/arcade/whatever. People who are into white power, kill whitey, and all other types of hate crap. We're too small a crew for it not to become a problem. Have I offended anybody? Maybe. I just wanted to post an honest description of what we do and do not want. I hope someone reads it and thinks it's the kind of thing they want in on, and in turn we find a person who's a good fit with our crew.

Charlie, you might consider posting this on RCM...if you havent already--pretty sure there's a couple folks there that are in your area and who might be interested...Gunner has a habit of re-posting these anyways...so...

To all else....I should add that I've had the privelege and pleasure of touring the place, and it is as Charlie says--certainly would be an interesting and challenging place to work....

Thinking about it myself......definately worth showering every thirteen days instead of fourteen !!!

This showering/hygiene requirement--sounds like discrimination to me! And how bout the peripatetic, who are able to walk in place AND work??

You must be one of those looking to be discriminated against. It's not discrimination- I don't want the coolant turning funky from people.

peripatetic, parapalegic- as long as the work gets done in a profitable manner, we won't worry about the paras.

Only if you're gonna go to the doctor and tell them you got hurt working. Tell 'em you stepped on something in the garage.
