The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, mechanically inclined, comfortable working from drawings and measurements, and takes pride in producing clean, precise finished work.

- Use hand tools, power tools, ladders, lifts, and other installation equipment safely and efficiently.
- Prepare surfaces and installation areas as needed prior to installation.
- Make field adjustments and modifications to ensure proper fit and finished appearance.
- Inspect completed installations to ensure panels are straight, securely attached, properly fitted, and free of wrinkles, damage, or visible defects.
- Maintain a clean and organized work area.
- Follow all project safety requirements and company procedures.
- Work collaboratively with other installers, foremen, general contractors, and project personnel.
- Protect finished surfaces and surrounding areas during installation.
Requirements
- Previous experience in specialty installation, construction, fabrication, or a related trade.
- Fabric panel, acoustic panel, upholstery, or architectural wall system experience is a plus.
- Strong ability to measure accurately and work with precision.
- Ability to read blueprints, shop drawings, or detailed installation instructions.
- Comfortable using common hand and power tools.
- Strong attention to detail and quality.
- Ability to work from measurements and complete layouts accurately.
- Comfortable working from ladders and lifts.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
- Reliable transportation and dependable attendance.
- Ability to lift, carry, and maneuver installation materials as required.
Transferable Experience We Consider
Candidates may be a strong fit even without direct fabric panel installation experience if they have experience with:
- Finish carpentry
