· Full Time in-office position
· Hainesport, NJ
· Do you enjoy working with your hands, solving problems, and creating things that people get excited about?

· Our team designs and produces high-end retail prototypes, packaging mockups, presentation kits, and promotional displays for many of the world’s most recognizable consumer brands.

· Help develop creative fabrication solutions for unique projects
· Perform quality inspections to ensure every piece is presentation-ready
· Package and prepare completed projects for shipment
· Maintain equipment and keep an organized work area
You Need:
· Artistic sensitivity…a creative eye and hands that can carefully build models/prototypes of packaging, cartons, boxes etc.
· Good sense of how things work and go together
· Some knowledge of tools and machinery
· Attention to detail and superior sense of precision. We avoid phrases like “good enough”
· Mix of both creative and technical skills to create a finished product that meets design goals
· Ability to collaborate with graphic designers to execute final creative vision
· Ability to multitask in a fast-paced environment, be self-motivated and adaptable to change
· Strong organization skills
