Looking for a well-rounded craftsperson Frame to Finish
- expert cabinet installer and Tile skills a bonus
We are also looking for an apprentice or junior-level craftsperson.
I worked for years for some of the top designers and projects in the country – many with NDA (non-disclosure agreements) and confidentiality clauses in contracts. Most of my team members never even knew whom we were working for. At the end of the day – I found that while I truly loved some of the epic projects and teams, I was part of – It was mostly glory. I found that glory did not fill my cup and that the magic of gratitude did. Now my team and I get to work directly with clients who understand that gratitude is part of the value that we add to making design-driven happy homes and spaces.
We are a Seattle-based Master level design/build team and we are looking for a quality Frame to Finish Craftsperson and an apprentice-level position that will learn with all of us to add to our growing team.
Our team works in two areas of focus – We provide design-driven remodels and additions for some of the best clients I have ever worked with. We also offer presale remarketing of real-estate properties through a quality design-based ROI approach for a very select group of realtors. Our company started with a focus on this area of the market. Our reputation for design story-based solutions has grown so we now mostly focus on these much more involved remodels and additions for our clients choosing to stay in their homes or to modify homes they just purchased.
With your many (or few) years of quality experience, we were hoping you could help us create happy homeowners, having them feel we cared about them and their homes like no one else did.
This is a thinking person's hands-on, career-track position for those who like the sights and sounds of true design and craftsmanship. We offer a unique environment for those who prefer to see the tangible results of their labors at the end of the day. I do not intend to hide the fact that often our work - is just that WORK. But at the end of the day the rewards are in the relationships final product or result we produce for our clients.
