Glass/Crystal Carver Full Time Part Time

Would you consider yourself a “maker”, someone who loves to bring creativity to your work or tinker with and learn about the capabilities of new machinery? Do you also feel it’s important that your work have impact and meaning? We may be looking for you!

Vermont Awards and Engraving is an small, award winning, woman-owned company in business since 1959 that believes quality and care for the client are the top priority. Our tagline “Recognition is Respect Made Visible” is almost a one line mission statement and we deeply believe in the power and importance of appreciating great work. We primarily produce B2B employee/volunteer/donor recognition awards but we also make signage, gifts, name tags…anything we have the capability to dream up and engrave! We’ve done everything from intricate memorials to lasering star maps into locally sourced wood for a special anniversary present – it’s always something different so you’re not likely to get bored if you like variety!

The ideal candidate would:

• Have some prior sand carving or vinyl sign making experience
• Other useful experience that may be helpful learning our machines/processes: running a laser, plotter, CNC router, power tools
• Be familiar with graphic design software such as the Adobe or CorelDraw suites and know the difference between a raster and vector image (even better if you’ve edited/created vector images or converted from raster into vector)
• Be creative
• Be mechanically inclined
• Be able to work with all sorts of people well and help add to a happy work environment
• Be a self-starter who likes learning and improving on systems and processes, not just accepting that “the old way” is necessarily better

This would be a part time position, 25 hours a week, though that may be able to increase during busier seasons or as needs change, and we are only here 8-5 Monday thru Friday so no nights or weekends! We will train the right candidate. Competitive pay, paid holidays (and we usually like to buffer around the holidays – so not just Thanksgiving off but also Black Friday), one week paid vacation after 6 month probation, sick days, beginning in 2020 access to a Simple IRA plan with employer match and opportunities as available for professional development and increasing skill competencies. We are a fun laid back place to work with a casual dress code and even have a shop dog (our company wellness specialist!). We’re handily located next to Costco with the Colchester forest trails a short walk away.
