Position Title: Multiple positions - see below
Compensation/Rate: See job description below
Location: Johns Island, SC
Position Summary:
At Riddle Boatworks, we have been building, restoring, and repairing wooden boats of all types since 1980. Working in both wood composite and traditional plank-on-frame construction techniques, we take on a variety of work from vintage boat restoration, to 70’ cold-molded sportfishermen repairs, to custom refits, to new construction. Every project is unique and the work never gets old!
I recently relocated here to the Charleston area from out-of-state and am seeking to establish a small crew of versatile craftsmen starting with:
CARPENTER: I am seeking a talented, versatile person capable of working to a high standard in all aspects of marine woodworking in both traditional and modern wood composite techniques. You will also participate in the various sanding, fairing, and coating operations in preparation for finish work. It won’t hurt if you have an aptitude with a varnish brush too. Attention to detail at every stage is required and any additional skills you can contribute will only enhance your standing.
And…
FINISHER: Almost every project involves a considerable amount of finish work from brush-applied paints and varnishes to spray-applied AwlGrip and other similar coatings. Filling, fairing, filleting and epoxy coating are often part of the project along with all the related sanding all those processes entail. I am seeking a detail-oriented person who enjoys those tasks and can eventually, if not immediately, work into a lead position in handling our finish work.
Applicants for either position must be willing to accept training or other direction if necessary to ensure your techniques meet our standards. Position is full-time with compensation starting at $25 or more, depending on experience, with my commitment for rapid increase following your proven performance.
If you’re suited to one of these positions, please email to tell me about yourself and why you believe you would make a good fit in my shop. Include your resume if you have one. I look forward to hearing from you!
