Steelcase is hiring a full time role as we are forming localized "Model Shops" in our wood and Steel plants in Grand Rapids Michigan. This role will be working to help develop these shops from the ground up, develop relationships and build product on a "sub-scale"... think products that are one-offs, very small scale production or unique designs for special customers. Things that are are too unique for a full sized production line to take on, but different enough that it has a large impact on customers.
If you have any questions please apply or reach out to myself. This role will not be reporting to myself and the Product Development model shop, but we are working to develop a very close working relationship with this shop and its team!
