What You’ll Do
Full-time shop role at Oltre Castings & Design supporting our GFRC production line. Responsibilities include mixing, pouring, demolding, general shop duties, and keeping the job site clean and organized.
Day-to-Day

What We’re Looking For
• Reliable and punctual — that’s #1
• Willing to learn and pitch in wherever needed
• Able to follow instructions and recipes precisely.

masonry, or similar — strongly preferred. Experienced applicants get priority. This isn't
an entry-level "first job" role. We're growing a skilled shop, and experienced hands
move to the top of the pile.
Don’t check every box? If you’re reliable, willing to learn, and take pride in your work,
we’ll train the right person. Apply anyway.
