Studio Specialist

Sanctus Stone Works, LLC

Near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania Area (Hybrid Remote)

Sanctus Stone Works is seeking a driven, hands‑on Studio Specialist to join our growing workshop near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

This is not a factory or assembly‑line position. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to work with a wide variety of materials, tools, and processes.

We're looking for someone who enjoys building, creating, repairing, solving problems with their hands, and is passionate about Catholic art and architecture.

Our studio combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology to create marble and limestone statues, altars, architectural elements, sacred furnishings, church restorations, custom commissions, molds, castings, and 3D models. Each project is unique. We're looking for someone who is highly motivated, dependable, mechanically inclined, and eager to learn.

If you've worked in construction, remodeling, carpentry, cabinetmaking, automotive restoration, manufacturing, machining, fabrication, painting, landscaping, or another hands‑on trade, your experience may translate well into this role. If you have a deep appreciation for Catholic theology, history, sacred art, and traditional craftsmanship, and possess the skills to learn, we want to hear from you.

• Safely operating shop machinery, power tools, and hand tools
• Material handling using forklifts, hoists, and lifting equipment
• Quality control and final inspection of completed work
• Maintaining a clean, organized, and professional workshop
• Occasionally assisting with installations and restoration projects in the field

Because our work is highly customized, this position is ideal for someone who enjoys learning new skills and working on different types of projects rather than performing the same task every day.

• Strong work ethic and positive attitude
• Highly motivated with a desire to learn new skills
• Comfortable working with your hands throughout the day
• Mechanical aptitude and problem-solving ability
• Attention to detail and pride in producing quality work
• Ability to safely use hand tools and power tools
