Introduction

Makespace is a 4,000 sq ft workshop in Cambridge for making things, meeting people and sharing skills. Makespace is a not-for-profit organisation run day-to-day by members who volunteer their time and expertise to ‘own’ certain machines or activities. Achieving this requires a lot of coordination and administration. That’s why Makespace is looking to appoint one or several managers for our workshops and the administrative infrastructure that supports them. This involves helping members find the resources they need, keeping the members list up to date, helping the Owners maintain the tools and train new members, ensuring we have the consumables we need, organising events and generally helping to keep Makespace running.

There is always scope for improvement and this is an opportunity to help the Makespace community reach its full potential. The new managers will ensure that the things that need to get done in Makespace get done, that our knowledge base continues to grow and that our operations become more effective.

The managers are to be the first point of contact in the workshop to support members and promote a safe and productive workshop environment. We are looking for proactive problem solvers who are users of Makespace, and can build collaborative relationships across our members and supporters.
