About Furnace:
We’re based in Alexandria, VA and so is this position. We eat, sleep and breathe vinyl. We're a gang of enthusiastic weirdos committed to doing the best job possible.
We’ve been doing this for over 25 years and are dedicated to continuing to drive the industry by bringing only the best vinyl records to market.
We practice Lean Manufacturing in the office and on the manufacturing floor- which means a lot of things but part of it is saving time every day by refining processes and refining ourselves. Everything is a learning experience and an opportunity for improvement.
Our maintenance team is often on the forefront of these improvements and are valued for their versatile skill set. We are looking for someone who can find creative solutions and is eager to learn new skills. Vinyl manufacturing is a niche industry and so are the machines we work on, so expect to learn from the ground up. Due to this we are looking more for the ability and desire to learn than for formal experience. We are excited to teach you if you are ready to learn.
