Craft Assembler

Allied Maker•Glen Cove, NY

About The Position

Allied Maker builds lighting by hand as a practice. Every fixture that leaves our facility has been touched, tested, and finished by a person who understood what they were making and why it mattered. This role involves assembling handcrafted lighting fixtures — pendants, sconces, chandeliers — from raw components to finished product. It requires patience, dexterity, attention to detail, and a genuine interest in making things correctly. The assembler will read technical drawings, work with hand tools and precision instruments, and interpret assembly specifications. They will handle components that have been finished by the metal finishing team and are expected to protect that work through every stage of assembly. The role is within a small team in a purpose-built shop floor where craft is taken seriously. As the assembler develops, they will take on more complex fixtures and contribute to process refinement.

Ability to read and follow technical diagrams and assembly documentation.
High personal standard for finished quality.

Curiosity about materials, process, and how things work.
