Recruiting Fabrication Manager

I have pointed out two posts ago that we are recruiting a Fabrication Manager for Factor e Farm. This is our highest current priority. That will allow me to delegate the on-site production management duties as I move on to higher-level tasks. The context is finishing this big, hairy, audacious goal – going through 3 prototype iterations of the 50 GVCS technologies by 2013.

In particular – our construction plans rely on the equipment that we are currently building, so equipment build-out is to be completed by September 15. Then we have Sep. 15- Nov. 1 for construction – two parallel teams building the OSE Workshop and living units.

The Fabrication Manager is key to further equipment buildout. I’ve so far posted in Kansas City and London Craigslists, and tweeted about it @OSEcology. Help us find a Fabrication Manager by posting on your channels – see job description announcement on our blog or on Craigslist in Kansas City.

    Is this a paid position that you’re recruiting for?

    Your requirements are pretty high, the odds of attracting someone capable of filling those shoes will probably go up substantially if it wasn’t a volunteer position, because folks already with those skills are probably also embroiled with other mundane responsibility that requires monetary income.

      That depends on the experience level and alignment of the individual with our goals.

    @Allen: as Marcin stated in his previous posts, only full-time volunteers guarantee a certain degree of commitment and alignment with OSE’s core values.
    We feel that this is the only way to attract people who are truly committed to the depth of our mission – as opposed to those who are getting paid to do the work.

      When we talk about ‘full time’, that refers to people on site at Factor e Farm. Because of our limited resources and short timeframe, we are calling for full time people on site to meet the demands of the Rollout Plan. Naturally, there are many part time contributors to the project working off-site, such as Ryan Lutz on documentation.
