Wood Crafts Production Assistant

Steamer Lane Design
Santa Cruz, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/1/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/31/2026

Steamer Lane Design is hiring two Production Assistants to work in laser engraving, product assembly, and shipping. We are located on the westside of Santa Cruz and make laser engraved souvenirs for gift shops and National Parks around the country.

***We are hiring for two positions***

***One position is permanent, full time, 5 days per week, 1:30pm to 9:30pm.***

***The second position is a six-week temporary position, 30-40 hours per week with flexible shifts.***

Pay is $21/hr. Full time employees receive a 401k with 4% employer match, time and a half on holidays, and 3 weeks of PTO/sick leave per year.

A typical day includes:
Operating laser engravers (training will be provided, no experience necessary).
Assembling pins, keychains and ornaments.
Gluing magnets to wood pieces.
Packing and shipping orders.

The majority of your time will be spent running laser engravers and assembling small products. Assembly requires fast hands, finger dexterity and an eye for detail. The tasks can be very repetitive - imagine gluing the same part 1,000 times in one shift.

You’ll be working with a small team in a steady work environment where you’ll stay busy from start to finish. There is a strong focus on quality control and efficiency. There is no customer interaction, and you can listen to music with headphones while you work. If you’re motivated, dependable, and ready to be part of a dedicated team, this role is a great fit.

You'll thrive here if you.....
- Are reliable.
- Have an eye for detail.
- Keep a clean workstation.
- Communicate well with a small team.
- (Most importantly) have a positive, friendly attitude!

If you are an artist or illustrator with graphic design experience, there are more opportunities available! We are always looking for folks to help design products.

Please apply and say what your availability is and why you think you’d be a good fit for the role.

Please do not call and do not show up in person to apply.
