McKay Lodge Conservation Laboratory, Inc.

McKay Lodge Conservation Laboratory, Inc. of Oberlin, Ohio is
soliciting applications for additional Sculpture Conservation
Assistants.  Any assistant's tasks would largely be participation
along with our other assistants and company conservators in the work
of performing maintenance and treatments for outdoor sculpture,
public art, monuments, fountains, mosaics, and architectural
features.

The ideal candidate would have a degree in fine art, knowledge of
sculpture materials and techniques, art foundry or fabrication
experience, and possess many of the following skills and abilities:
metalworking including various means of welding; soldering; other
joining techniques and finishing; fabrications in various metals,
wood and other materials; work with stone, cements and mortars; fine
spray finishing and applications of industrial coatings; abrasive
blasting; operation of common power tools; operation of forklifts
and aerial lifts; driving trucks with trailers; basic rigging; work
at heights by climbing of ladders and scaffolding; and lifting of up
to 75 pounds.  In addition, the candidate must be capable of passing
a federal background check as we oftentimes work in secured federal
facilities.  Much of the work is outdoors in seasonal weather and
work in our shops in winter and other times.

The candidate must be capable of extensive travel throughout the
United States with occasional week-long periods away. Our contracts
take us to all states in the contiguous United States, as well as
Alaska, Hawaii and the U.S. Virgin Islands, to repair and preserve
some of the finest works of art and architectural features dating
from the 19th century to the most recent commissions in public art.

This is an ideal employment opportunity for those seeking on-job
training, company-paid training, and experiences pertinent to
eventually becoming a recognized conservator of outdoor sculpture,
as well as for artists desiring a steady income stream to supplement
their independent artistic careers.

The company has had a very successful and busy 25 years of providing

technical advice to the federal government, state agencies,
municipalities, museums and other institutions, and to private
