Job description

AXIOM

Axiom is a dynamic company that specializes in the design and fabrication of custom elements. We create retail displays and environments that immerse people in our client's brands. We customize the atmospheres of beloved restaurants to rival the food. We modernize hotels or restore them to their original beauty. Whatever our client’s idea or project, we collaborate to make it magic. We’re a friendly team of thinkers and builders with a professional passion for making interesting things. We design. We engineer. We build. We install. We’re full-service and full of heart.

THE ROLE

We are currently seeking a Buider/Bench Carpenter.

To get a feel for Axiom Custom Products' capabilities check us out at www.axiomcustom.com.

The schedule is Monday - Friday, typically 7:00pm - 3:30pm, with the option to pick up work when available on the weekend. However, there is the necessity of a flexible schedule working OT as needed which is a 10-hour day, (typically 7:00am - 5:30pm), a goal-oriented length day to hit project deadlines or the infrequent mandatory Saturday or weekend.

YOU

We are looking for someone good with tools and who has built things -- a lot of things! You’ll thrive if you have years of shop experience with a focus on cabinet making and bench carpentry. Someone who is ambitious, hard working, quality conscience, and focused tends to be best suited for the work we do. We're looking for someone reliable that takes pride in their work. Someone who is looking to take on new challenges and work with a variety of products, wood, solid surface, plastic, laminates, and metal to name the regular. If this sounds like you, this may be your favorite job!

It is a collaborative environment and we ebb and flow between working well with others and working solo. The nature of our projects leaves room for unanswered questions and problem-solving. So, there are a few other things we hope you can do; communicate well, don't be reluctant to become involved or ask questions and possess a willingness to learn regardless of your advanced level of experience.
As needed, this role supports installs. Sometimes installs are local, sometimes folks travel anywhere in the country. We are regularly in Seattle, LA, Denver, and NYC. Length of install varies, but we try to make travel reasonable. We'll discuss more in-depth at the interview.

THE REWARD

We invest in our people, mentor them, empower them to achieve, and offer growth opportunities. Many of our key positions are the result of promoting from within.

• We offer a fantastic career opportunity with excellent pay, 401k and Roth investment options, and robust medical, dental, vision benefits (with additional cost dependent coverage options).
• Best yet, in year two and beyond, you accrue 20 days of PTO!
• Combined with 6 paid holidays, our benefits are some of the best in our industry.
• For install, folks also receive a per diem for out-of-town travel and we cover all lodging, airfare and transportation.

THE CULTURE

It's not stuffy and corporate, it's privately owned by one owner who is involved day-to-day, and has been since 1996; no board of directors, low-key and casual, but professional. We're a full-function team where everyone helps everyone.

OUR REPUTATION

We have built our reputation on creating awesome experiences for our clients and our team. Friendly, proud hard workers, and oddball thinkers, we project our values every day and work hard to deliver the goods. Acting as one, we’re in it together. We don’t accept “that’s how it’s always been done;” we constantly innovate and use our ingenuity to push limits. It’s what sets Axiom apart.
