Furniture Repair, Refinishing and Management
A PASSION FOR FURNITURE
A growing five-year old furniture repair company in Sarasota is looking for an associate to join us to
repair and refinish furniture, and to grow our business. This is an ownership opportunity…not just work. As the business grows, I am looking to sell the business using the cash flow generated by the business. This is a great opportunity to own an established business, with a solid reputation, and existing customers and revenue.
We welcome responses from a qualified individual who is in a technical program or college with previous employment experience; is a graduate of a technical school or college with previous employment experience; or someone who has the skill set we seek with previous employment experience.
You should have knowledge of and experience with everyday workshop tools.
You should be able to think of different ways to fix furniture, and then make the repairs. Common work includes: repairing cracked or split wood, filling chips and gouges, and replacing broken hardware.
You should have a basic talent for eyeing colors and being able to mix colors (dyes and pigments) to match colors for furniture finishing. We can help you improve this skill.
Overall, you should be interested in furniture—repairing and recycling—as a career, and not just as a job. We seek to partner with an individual who would like to help grow the business and benefit from the growth with bonuses in addition to regular compensation. This means increasing income and selecting benefits you want and need. A long-term goal of yours should be co-ownership of the company.
The business functions (advertising, sales, scheduling, accounting, and associated paperwork) are currently being managed, but we will teach you these skills when you are ready.
One of our core values is providing superior customer service. Good customer service seems to be a value no longer important to businesses. While performing our best work on each project, we seek to delight every customer. We take pride in our work.
For insurance purposes, if interacting directly with customers, the respondent will be required to undergo a background check including, but not limited to, a review of your driving record and a criminal background check.
If you choose to not perform work at the customer's site, you may set up your own workshop. Your schedule is flexible, as long as your assignments are completed successfully. You can choose your hours and days of the week, including weekends if you like.
Flexible work from home options available.
