Job Overview

We’re hiring a Mold Shop Technician to help build the architectural formwork used to produce high-end cast elements (concrete / plaster). This role is hands-on and detail-driven: you’ll take architectural drawings and turn them into accurate, straight, true molds and forms.

We’re looking for someone teachable, adaptable, and interested in growing into a leadership role as they gain experience.

Key Responsibilities

- Read and interpret architectural drawings and shop drawings (plans, sections, elevations, details)
- Build and assemble molds/formwork for architectural castings (walls, ceilings, trims, features, etc.)
- Maintain accuracy: straight, square, true forms; clean edges and consistent tolerances
- Use basic shop tools safely and effectively (measuring, cutting, fastening, assembling)
- Organize work: label molds/jobs clearly; track job status and deadlines
- Support casting workflows with basic understanding of concrete and plaster (handling, cure timing, protection of molds)
- Work efficiently and make strong use of shop time to meet production targets
- Collaborate with the team and step into leadership responsibilities over time (mentoring, quality checks, coordinating tasks)

Required Skills & Experience





- Ability to read architectural drawings (must-have)
- Basic knowledge of tools and measuring (tape, square, level, fasteners, etc.)
- Understanding of mold/form making fundamentals (or strong related carpentry/fabrication experience)
- High attention to detail and pride in workmanship
- Robust teamwork and communication
- Teachable mindset: willing to learn new methods, processes, and standards (this is critical)

Nice to Have

- Experience in mold making, formwork, cabinetry, scenic/prop fabrication, composites, or set building
- Familiarity with concrete/plaster casting, release agents, reinforcement considerations, and finishing
- Experience leading a small crew or acting as a working lead

What We Offer

- Pay based on experience and skill level
- Growth path into Lead and higher leadership roles for the right person
- Consistent work on high-end architectural projects—designer walls, ceilings, and custom elements
- Challenging, varied work—no two jobs are alike
- The chance to help bring top architects’ and designers’ ideas to life
