Rick Vogt: 3- to 4-month project cleaning, stabilizing, consolidating, toning and re-coating woodwork
I am in need of two to four interns and assistants for a three to four month
project in the DC area beginning in early January 2012. The project involves
cleaning, stabilizing, consolidating, toning and re-coating woodwork in a National
Register building in the DC area. A high level of experience in this type of
work is not required. However, a sensitivity to color, good hand skills, dedication
to historic preservation standards and ethics [AIC], and a professional work
ethic are imperative. Much of the work will be done on scaffolding approximately
8-12 feet off the floor. All of the work is on the interior of the building.
As we are subcontractors to a large General Contractor, all involved will be
subject to OSHA requirements for personal protective equipment, drug testing
[we will pay for] and site schedules for work times [6AM – 3PM Monday
thru Friday]
This is an important project and should provide an interesting and challenging
opportunity for all involved. CV, and relative personal information is required.
Compensation is relative to experience and qualifications. If interested please
contact Rick Vogt at fcvco@verizon.net
or call 804-358-1651 Monday thru Saturday.
