Description
We are looking for a skilled woodworker/repairer with knowledge to competently restore and fix furniture from all eras, and take charge of both quick aesthetic repairs and longer restoration projects. The type of candidate we are looking for might not necessarily come from a restoring background. Examples of transferable experience include; furniture making, set building, studio/workshop technician, and artists’ assistants. Ultimately, we are looking for a really practically-minded repairs expert who has an eye for detail, design, and strong intuition for aesthetics.
You will be responsible for executing a variety of restoration and repair tasks. You will need to prioritise effectively, plan repair times accordingly, and provide info to colleagues in the stock and repairs department. We require a candidate who is confident in a variety of finishing techniques for wood whilst being open minded to experiment and not necessarily do things traditionally. The varied nature of the collection will require a multi-skilled individual (wood, stone, painting, textiles and more); a creative problem-solver who is highly confident with their techniques and will develop a deep understanding of Granger Hertzog’s brand and aesthetic.
Hours: 2 days per week (ideally consecutive days), Monday-Friday 9am – 5pm.
Permanent contract or freelance contractor option available.
Probation period of 3 months.
Salary / Day Rate: Dependent upon experience.
Valid work permit (minimum of one year) Checkable references
