Deep Roots Craftsmen, a historic preservation contractor based in Fort Collins, Colorado, is looking for additional help in our millwork shop. Work will entail work on historic windows and doors, reproduction of windows and custom doors as well as various other general millwork tasks.
Thanks in large part to one of the strongest grant programs in the country, preservation is thriving in Colorado. Most of our projects are partly state-funded, leading to an interesting and always varying range of non-profit clients and project sites. Our projects have ranged from historic barns, to school houses, to churches to museum spaces and additions/ renovations on private homes. Each job is unique in its elements but consistent in their adherence to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards. Many of these jobs have critical shop components.
As a Millwork Assistant, you would be assisting with and completing various woodworking and millwork tasks revolving around window, door and trim work. From building windows and doors from scratch, to routing in small dutchmen repairs to historic windows and doors, to helping set up and run custom trim runs, the work varies on a weekly basis. All tasks involved require a high attention to detail, ability to work independently and strong people skills to work with others. You would work with a team of 1-2 others to prepare work for the finishing side of the shop, as well as the field teams.
Candidates that have an interest in also performing some of the related window, door and trim work in the field are preferred.
As we continue to grow the business, we are passionate about assembling the right group of people. You can learn more about our company at www.deeprootscraft.com. We look to hearing from you!
