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.
