Team member for Recording Studio Construction crew. (Los Angeles)

F.C. Owens is a design/Build firm primarily specializing in recording studio and theater construction. You can see our work on instagram @f.c.owens Our projects vary from full ground up construction of new structures to just custom furniture, and everything in between. The bulk of the tasks we do directly revolve around rough framing, finish carpentry and basic electrical work. Experience with at least 2 of those three items is a requirement. As there are some specialized and proprietary techniques and materials required for acoustic considerations in involved in most of the processes we perform, there will be a learning curve period for anyone coming on to the team. The ideal candidate is someone who has a solid foundation of residential and commercial general construction methods and materials, but is interested in and willing to learn new aspects which specifically apply to our typical project types, and is looking to build and grow long term with the company. The general spectrum of tasks we directly perform include: - wall/ceiling./floor rough framing in both wood and light gauge steel. - basic electrical work - primarily just running MC and Romex to outlet and lighting locations, then basic outlet and lighting fixture wiring. - Door and window installation - we custom fabricate all studio isolation swing doors and jambs as well as interior soundproof window assemblies, then we install all commercially procured exterior windows and doors. - Insulation - there are different types of insulation products which we use both in-wall for thermal and isolation values and then separately as the acoustic treatment substrates for the studio room interiors. - Interior room acoustic treatment and custom millwork - this is all one integrated process, these processes require primarily high end finish carpentry skills, but involve the most “non standard” practices which will have to be learned. - Painting/finishing - There is not a whole lot of this work in most of our projects but always a little bit in every project. Some finish materials we frequently work with: Renner 688 - this is my current prefered clear and pigmented top coat for all furniture, doors, and any other high traffic millwork Various hardwax/penetrating oil finishes Various interior latex wall paints Occasionally we do Lime Wash and roman clay wall finishes. - Custom furniture / Fixture / cabinetry fabrication and installation - While a much smaller part of the job, these are things we do for virtually every project. These are things which are typically shop fabricated then delivered and installed. - Low voltage / Audio wiring and gear set up - also a small and infrequent portion of work, but we typically handle some portion of this work for all of our studio builds. Basic benefits include paid holidays and sick time. Additional PTO acquired after 1 year. Starting rate will be determined by the number of and level of experience with the tasks detailed above.
