Licensed Optician - Optical Establishment Permit (1099 Preferred / W-2

JCM&CO LLC

Job Description

Job Description

About the Opportunity

Gulf Coast Sunglasses, an established specialty sunglass retail store in Venice, Florida, is adding full prescription eyewear services and is seeking a Florida-licensed Optician to serve as the licensed optician of record for the location’s Optical Establishment Permit.

We prefer an independent contractor (1099) arrangement, but we are open to discussing a traditional W-2 employee role for the right candidate.

Gulf Coast Sunglasses will refer all prescription clients to you. Work is on an as-needed basis. Estimated hours to start are approximately 5–10 hours per week , with the potential to grow as RX volume increases.

Compensation

The listed hourly range is an estimate for posting purposes. Actual pay is primarily commission-based — a competitive percentage of gross prescription (RX) sales. Full details will be discussed with qualified candidates.

Key Responsibilities

  • Serve as the licensed optician named on the store’s Optical Establishment Permit application and ongoing compliance
  • Interpret and verify prescriptions
  • Fit, adjust, and dispense prescription sunglasses and eyeglasses
  • Coordinate with store staff on order intake, deposits, lab orders, and dispensing appointments
  • Maintain professional standards consistent with Florida Board of Opticianry requirements

Requirements

  • Active Florida Optician license (required)
  • Willingness and ability to be listed as the licensed optician on the Optical Establishment Permit for this location
  • Professional liability insurance (or willingness to obtain it) if working as a 1099 contractor
  • Reliable, professional appearance and strong customer service skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively with retail staff

Preferred

  • Experience in a retail optical environment
  • Comfortable with a commission-based structure tied to RX sales

Schedule

Flexible and as-needed. Estimating 5–10 hours per week to start. Hours will be coordinated based on customer appointments and store needs.

How to Apply

Please submit your resume and a brief note confirming:
  1. Your Florida Optician license number
  2. That you are open to being named on an Optical Establishment Permit
  3. Whether you prefer 1099 or W-2, along with your availability

Qualified candidates will be contacted for a conversation.ersation.
