Ski Builder - Layup and Assembly

At Shaggy's Skis, we build high-performance, custom skis by hand—one pair at a time. We're looking for someone to join our production team and help build skis from raw materials, with a primary focus on ski layup and assembly —one of the most critical steps in the process. If you've ever wanted to work in the ski industry and be part of building something real, this is your opportunity. What This Job Is You'll be assembling skis before they go into the press, learning how every component comes together—and why it matters. This isn't an assembly line job. Every pair is different, and attention to detail is everything. This is a hands-on role working with: wood ski cores ski bases and edges fiberglass and carbon epoxy resin systems How You'll Start Most people begin in layup, learning the core of how a ski is built. You'll work directly with an experienced builder and under the production lead to: understand materials and process flow build consistency and speed develop real hands-on skill As you gain experience, you'll have opportunities to take on more responsibility and grow into other areas of production. Who This Is a Good Fit For You'll likely enjoy this role if you: like working with your hands are a skier or snowboarder with a genuine passion for the sport take pride in doing things the right way enjoy building or fixing things want to learn a real manufacturing process are looking for something more than just a job You don't need ski-building experience. But you do need a good attitude and a willingness to learn. What You'll Be Doing Ski layup and assembly Preparing materials for builds Attaching edges to bases Assisting with wood core prep and glue-ups Basic finishing work on skis and components Supporting production wherever needed About the Team We're a small group that works hard, helps each other out, and takes pride in what we build.
