Craft Assembler

Craft AssemblerGlen Cove, New YorkAllied Maker builds lighting by hand as a practice. Every fixture that leaves our facility has been touched, tested, and finished by a person who understood what they were making and why it mattered.We're looking for someone who wants to be that person.The WorkYou'll assemble handcrafted lighting fixtures — pendants, sconces, chandeliers — from raw components to finished product. This is bench work. It requires patience, dexterity, attention to detail, and a genuine interest in making things correctly.You'll read technical drawings, work with hand tools and precision instruments, and interpret assembly specifications. You'll handle components that have been finished by our metal finishing team and are expected to protect that work through every stage of assembly. You'll work alongside a small team in a purpose-built shop floor where craft is taken seriously.As you develop, you'll take on more complex fixtures and contribute to how we refine our processes. There is a direct line between the quality of your work and the quality of what ships.What We're Looking ForSome hands-on experience: woodworking, metalworking, electronics, auto, fabrication, or similar.
