Job description

Van Conversion Technician - Concrete Oasis Build

Concrete Oasis Series

San Diego, CA | Full-Time | In-Person | 4/10 Schedule

Join the Adventure - Shape the Ultimate Boutique Van Experience

Craft more than vans - build immersive, design-forward homes on wheels.

About Us

Sandy Vans is San Diego's premier adventure van builder, creating luxury rigs that empower people to hit the road and live life outside. But we're not just building vans - we're building a lifestyle. We're a passionate, fast-growing team that values craftsmanship, collaboration, and creativity.

One of the best parts of being part of a growing company is the chance to wear many hats - your voice matters, your ideas count, and you have the opportunity to make a real impact every day. If you're looking to do hands-on work with a purpose, this is your crew.

Core Values

• Pride: Quality is our number one priority here at Sandy Vans. You are with a team filled with integrity.
• Innovation: Our design and layouts are unique to the company. The way we create our luxury adventure vans is simple, aesthetically pleasing, and quick to assemble.
• Customer Obsession: We are dedicated to providing our customers with the utmost best service. Sandy Vans is constantly gaining smiles per gallon.

Why This Role Is Different

We've partnered with Ananda Living Experiences to create The Concrete Oasis - a limited-edition, high-design series of boutique vans that pushes the boundary of craftsmanship and innovation. This isn't a typical van build - it's a statement: minimalist, serene, and architectural. Think micro-cement walls and floors, walnut woodworking, electric happy jack beds, full wet bath, and smart off-grid systems.

This is no ordinary van - it's a rolling luxury retreat, precision-engineered for style, function, and comfort.

What You'll Do

• Run and install electrical wiring and components throughout the van
• Assist with the construction and installation of custom cabinets, shelving, and storage
• Custom fabrication of specific pieces, including micro cementing and plaster panels
• Assembly, installation, and fabrication of van components
• Maintain strong attention to detail with a focus on high-quality finishing work
• Bring familiarity with van building and off-roading industries
• Apply knowledge of van systems: AC, heater, skylight, shower, etc.
• Work across all disciplines of van builds - well-rounded skill set
• Apply strong problem-solving skills related to build challenges
• Wire and install high-performance off-grid systems
• Use a full range of hand and power tools to fabricate clean, high-end woodwork and electrical installations
• Collaborate with the build team to maintain efficiency and precision across van projects
• Apply seamless, high-end microcement finishes

Tools provided at the shop; personal tools welcome.

What We're Looking For

• Extensive experience with fine finishes, blueprints, and artisan details
• Ability to install complex systems and work with micro-cement materials
• A perfectionist mindset - every line, curve, and component must feel right
• Strong independent worker who thrives in tight-knit collaboration
• Some responsibilities include lifting up to 50lbs
• Valid driver's license

Why Work With Us?

We're all about balance - just like the vans we build. At Sandy Vans, you'll find a team that supports your personal growth as much as professional. We value initiative, promote from within, and build a culture of respect, collaboration, and fun.

Compensation & Benefits

• Pay: $24-$32/hr (based on experience) + optional overtime
• We Pay for Half! Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• Short-Term & Long-Term Disability (STD/LTD)
• Accident & Hospital Coverage
• 401(k) with Company Matching
• Health Savings Account (HSA)

Perks & Culture

• 4/10 Schedule - 4 days a week, 10-hour shifts = 3-day weekends!
• Monthly team meetings with bagels & coffee
• Employee of the Month earns a free weekend in one of our vans
• Company dinners, events, and parties
• A tight-knit team with great workplace camaraderie
• A creative space where your ideas are heard and valued
• We promote what we preach: get outside, live fully, and enjoy the ride
