You
Are you an experienced installer or finish carpenter by trade, who also enjoys fabrication? Our install team executes temporary and permanent installations that run the gamut; every project is different! We need someone that can utilize project specifications, drawings, and tried and true installation methods to wow our clients. We expect everyone on the team to play a part in monitoring project progress, quality and forecasting needs to complete the project on time within budget.
Our installers are skilled tradespeople who have extensive experience. They have a keen ability for problem-solving and are comfortable working with a variety of materials from wood to metal to glass to plastic. If you want to hang with our team, you must be committed to learning all aspects of our processes and the "Axiom way." You'll be a representation of Axiom, as you typically encounter other trades onsite. Feeling comfortable and confident in a client-facing role is critical. An important note is that with custom products, always come questions - you have to be willing to ask questions. Being there for your team and prompt & open communication are very critical traits of this role.
Travel Required + Build in the Shop in Down Time
Installs can range from days to weeks and vary from local to national. Installs require folks that are reliable and flexible. Installations are often deadline sensitive and can span the weekend and mean long, challenging days. But, there's nothing more rewarding than nailing the finished product!
When there is downtime from installs, the installer must be able and willing to participate in other production related work such as fabrication, tech up, and prepping for upcoming installs in the shop.
An essential function of this role is driving to the job site. It could be in one's own vehicle, company fleet or a rented vehicle, so a clean and local driver's license is required. For travel, a Real ID or Passport is required.
