Job Details

  • Why This Role Is Different
    We’ve partnered with Ananda Living Experiences to create The Concrete Oasis—a limited-edition, high-design series of boutique vans that pushes the boundary of craftsmanship and innovation. This isn’t a typical van build—it’s a statement: minimalist, serene, and architectural. Think micro-cement walls and floors, walnut woodworking, electric happy jack beds, full wet bath, and smart off-grid systems. This is no ordinary van — it’s a rolling luxury retreat, precision-engineered for style, function, and comfort.

 

  • What You’ll Do:
    Running and installing electrical wiring and components throughout the van- preferred
    Assisting with the construction and installation of custom cabinets, shelving, and storage
    Custom fabrication of specific pieces, including micro cementing and plaster panels
    Assembly, installation, and fabrication of van components
    Ability to assemble and install bolt-on parts
    Strong attention to detail with focus on high-quality finishing work
    Tools provided at the shop; personal tools welcome
    Familiarity with van building and off-roading industries
    Knowledge of van systems: AC, heater, skylight, shower, etc.
    Skilled in all disciplines of van builds—well-rounded
    Strong problem-solving skills related to build challenges
    Problem solving skills within building aspects
    Wire and install high-performance off-grid systems
    Use a full range of hand and power tools to fabricate clean, high-end woodwork and electrical installations (Own tools welcome)
    Collaborating with the build team to maintain efficiency and precision across van projects
    Apply seamless, high-end micro-cement finishes

 

  • What We’re Looking For:
    Extensive experience with fine finishes, blueprints, and artisan details
    Ability to install complex systems and work with micro-cement materials
    A perfectionist mindset—every line, curve, and component must feel right
    Strong independent worker who thrives in tight-knit collaboration
    Some responsibilities include lifting up to 50lbs
    Holds a valid driver’s license

 

  • Why Work With Us?
    We're all about balance — just like the vans we build. At Sandy Vans, you’ll find a team that supports your personal growth as much as professional. We value initiative, promote from within, and build a culture of respect, collaboration, and fun.
