Build Dream Machines That Explore the World

Full-Time Van Build Technician - Vanlife Customs

Are you tired of building the same thing every day?

At Vanlife Customs, every project is different. One week you're installing a custom electrical system for a family's cross-country adventure. The next, you're fabricating a mobile office for a digital nomad heading to Alaska. We're the team behind some of the most incredible custom vans on the road—and we need someone who's as passionate about craftsmanship as our customers are about adventure.

What Makes This Different

• 4.9-star Google rating doesn't happen by accident—we're known nationwide for builds that perform everywhere from Moab to Maine
• Over 175 custom vans built and hundreds serviced—every one unique, every one an engineering challenge
• From backyard startup to 15,000 sq ft facility—we're growing fast and need career-focused team members to grow with us
• Real impact: You'll see your work featured on social media as customers live their dreams in vehicles you built

What You'll Do

Transform empty cargo vans into fully functional mobile homes and offices. Install everything from solar systems and lithium batteries to custom cabinetry and electrical systems. Cut body panels for windows and vents. Diagnose and repair complex 12V and 110V systems. Every build is a puzzle—and you'll be the one solving it.

Who We Need

This is a full-time career opportunity, not a side gig. We invest heavily in our team through training, equipment, and growth opportunities. We need someone who:

• Has 1+ years experience with carpentry, electrical, or automotive work
• Can operate shop tools confidently (table saw, drill press, grinders, etc.)
• Reads technical drawings and installation instructions like a pro
• Thrives on problem-solving and attention to detail
• Wants to build a long-term career with a growing company

Bonus points for: CNC experience, vehicle maintenance knowledge, LEAN manufacturing background

Why You'll Love It Here

• Competitive pay: $22-30/hour based on experience
• Full benefits: Health, dental, vision insurance + PTO
• Employee discounts on builds and gear
• Growth opportunities as we expand
• Shop access for personal projects (with approval)
• Work with a team that actually cares about quality and craftsmanship

Ready to Build Something Amazing?

We're looking for someone who wants to make this their career, not their weekend hobby. If you're passionate about craftsmanship and want to be part of a team that's redefining mobile adventure, we want to meet you.

This is a full-time position with growth potential. Part-time and contract candidates will not be considered.
