Job description

Czarnowski is one of the four studios of the Czarnowski Collective. It combines operations, strategy, design, and fabrication to create exhibits and events that engage communities, generate brand enthusiasm, and educate consumers. It’s been over 75 years since we opened our doors, but we’re still not resting on our reputation or accolades. We’re wondering “what if...” anticipating what’s next and embracing our role within the Czarnowski Collective as forward-thinkers for forward-thinking brands.

Joining the Czarnowski Collective means the opportunity to be more than a number, more than a job title, more than a spectator. We are a collective of dreamers and thinkers, doers, and makers…and we’re searching for more of the same to join the ranks.

The Purpose:

We’re looking for a skilled and detail-oriented Painter to join our fabrication team in Denver. You’ll be responsible for applying various finishes to custom-built structures, components, and scenic elements used in marketing events, exhibits, and branded environments. You’ll work with materials ranging from wood and metal to plastics and composites, helping bring bold designs to life with precision and creativity. We’re fast-paced, detail-driven, and always building something new.

The Job:

• Prepare and paint exhibit components (wood, metal, plastics, etc.).
• Mix and apply paints, stains, and custom finishes.
• Maintain a clean and safe work area.
• Collaborate with team members to meet project specifications and timelines.
• Perform touch-ups and on-site finishing work as needed.
• Follow safety procedures and material handling protocols.

The Person:

• 2+ years of painting experience in scenic, exhibit, or commercial environments
• Proficient with spray equipment and other painting tools
• Strong eye for color and finish details
• Physically able to lift materials and stand for extended periods
• Ability to read design references and meet visual quality standards
• Team-oriented with good communication skills
• Must be able to work 6:00am-4:30pm Monday-Friday

Colorado Salary and Benefit Statement:

The salary range displayed is specifically for those potential hires who will work or reside in the state of Colorado if selected for the role. Any salary offered is determined based on internal equity, internal salary ranges, market data/ranges, applicant's skills and prior relevant experience.

This position is eligible for health care benefits, life insurance, time off benefits and participation in the Company's 401(k) plan.

What we offer:

• Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits effective within 30 days (or less) of your start date
• 401K matching with no vesting period (you are fully vested as of day 1)
• Generous Paid Time Off (PTO)
• Paid Holidays
• Collaborative Work Environment

Collective Culture Core Values:

We recognize that the success of our business rests with the skills and efforts of our people, and in return for their contributions, our employees can expect a flexible work environment that delivers on the 10 principles that define our company culture:

• We celebrate creativity, curiosity, innovation and imagination.
• We are humble and respectful.
• We act with honesty and integrity.
• We empower and trust one another.
• We embrace individuality and an entrepreneurial spirit.
• We champion initiatives that bolster diversity, equity and inclusion.
• We prioritize safe, ethical and sustainable business practices.
• We foster a culture of meritocracy - rewarding skills and abilities, instead of influence.

Through several existing and future initiatives, Czarnowski Collective is exploring thoughtful and creative ways to embrace individuality, and more effectively champion diversity, equity and inclusion across our network.
