We are seeking a full-time, experienced Evening Crew Packer and Fabricator to join our Packing Department.

This is a hands-on production role working primarily in-house at our facility from approximately 12:00 PM–8:00 PM, Monday through Friday. The position will focus on packing artwork and preparing custom packing components, crate interiors, and materials for upcoming projects.

The Evening Crew Packer will work with a wide range of artworks, packing materials, and fabrication methods and will be responsible for developing and executing safe, precise, and efficient packing solutions.

We are looking for someone with strong fabrication skills, good spatial judgment, excellent attention to detail, and the ability to work independently while collaborating closely with our Packing, Crating, Design, and Production teams.

Responsibilities

Responsibilities may include:

Packing and unpacking artwork in-house
Fabricating custom packing, fitting, cushioning, and support solutions for individual artworks
Preparing artwork for transport, storage, exhibition, and installation
Preparing crates and packing components for upcoming projects
Fabricating foam, board, archival, and other custom interior components
Preparing and fitting crate interiors
Fitting completed packing components and artwork into crates
Preparing, organizing, and staging materials for upcoming packing projects
Reading and following cut sheets, measurements, packing instructions, and project specifications
Taking accurate measurements and documenting packing requirements
Working with Packing, Crating, Design, and Production staff to troubleshoot and develop packing solutions
Completing production work independently during the later portion of the shift
Maintaining an organized, clean, and safe production workspace

The position will have access to a fully equipped carpentry and fabrication shop, tools, equipment, and a wide range of packing and specialty materials.

Requirements

Preference will be given to candidates with experience in fine art packing, fabrication, museum preparation, art handling, art installation, carpentry, construction, or related technical fields.

A minimum of 2–3 years of relevant experience in a fabrication studio, art services company, museum, gallery, workshop, or similar environment is preferred.

Strong candidates will demonstrate:

Experience safely handling and packing artwork or similarly fragile and valuable objects
Strong hands-on fabrication and problem-solving skills
Familiarity with packing, fabrication, and cushioning materials
Ability to take accurate measurements and follow detailed instructions
Strong spatial awareness and attention to detail
Consistently high standards for quality and craftsmanship
Ability to work both independently and collaboratively
Good communication and organizational skills
Ability to prioritize and complete assigned production work efficiently
Commitment to maintaining a safe, clean, and professional workspace

Because this position extends beyond the primary daytime production schedule, candidates should be comfortable working independently and maintaining established production, quality, and safety standards with limited supervision during portions of the shift.

How to Apply

To apply, submit your resume, a cover letter, and an optional portfolio of previous work.

Optional Portfolio

If you have photographs of previous work that demonstrate skills or experience relevant to this position, we welcome you to include a portfolio with your application.

Examples may include custom packing, fabrication, crate interiors, foam or archival components, mounts or supports, carpentry, art handling, installation, or other technical work demonstrating relevant fabrication skills.
