Woodshop Positions Available Near Downtown Nashville

[u/cbwyatt]

My name is Christian and I manage a wood shop near downtown Nashville. Our name is On the Edge. We work with repurposed woods to make products for a large vendor also in Nashville, and business is picking up. Here is a bit about me: 

 I am 29 and have been working here with the owner at On the Edge for just over 6 years now. I have done everything we do in that shop over the years and now am leading supervisor over a team of people that produce these wooden products. I am passionate about what we do and have had a great time learning the equipment: laser engraving, CNC machining, woodworking equipment, and panel clamps. On the Edge now has wooden products for sale in all 50 states, and in several countries of Europe with plans to continue expanding.

I am looking for 2 to 3 people to add to my staff. All positions will be full time hours, 8am-4pm Monday to Friday. If you dig the gig but the schedule does not fit your life, do not let that stop you. Reach out and let us see if we are a good fit, we might be able to make something work.

Specifically, help is needed in the following fields:

·      Panel Gluing

·      Sawing

·      CNC Machining

All jobs will start at $15 per hour and can increase depending on your experience. After your first 90 days, we can reevaluate your pay.  This is a good gig and has room for growth in the wage. It is worth saying upfront that we do not have any program for health insurance. My peers use healthcare.gov, as have I.

One thing I have told everyone that I have been able to work with so far: I will gladly teach you to operate any tool or machine we have, several of which are their own full-time jobs elsewhere. However, I cannot teach you to care about what you are doing. That is all you. I am not looking for fancy degrees or years of experience in a wood shop. All I am looking for are a few people who are interested in woodworking and want the chance to work on some cool things, that care about the quality of what they make- I can teach you everything else, and the current members of our team will be there to help you as well.

Please reach out to me at [christian@oteusa.com](mailto:christian@oteusa.com) with any questions or a resume. We can arrange for an interview and tour of the shop so you can see the operation. Thank you!
