Artistic Technician Apprentice
About The Position
Painters, sculptors, whittlers, sketchers, tinkerers — this one's for you. At Surface Experts, your artistic instincts aren't a hobby you leave at home. They're the whole job. Every repair is a tiny, one-of-a-kind puzzle: a different color to match, a different sheen to nail, a different material to work with. No two are alike, so you're improvising, mixing, and problem-solving your way to an invisible fix — usually in a couple of hours. When you're done, the damage simply disappears. That's the art. And yes — you'll get your hands dirty. This is real, physical, hands-on work: kneeling on floors, blending materials, feeling out textures, working on-site in apartments, hotels, and construction zones. If you love making things with your hands and have a good eye for color, this is a paycheck for the way your brain already works.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience with some kind of manual or creative work — construction, manufacturing, painting, sculpting, music, baking, you name it
- A sharp eye for color — you can see, distinguish, and replicate colors, because color matching is at the heart of what we do (if you are colorblind...this isn't for you)
