Job location: This position will work at all Akin locations, including future new studios across Toronto.

Introduction:
Hi, I’m Sally Hood Ranscombe and I am the Facilities Manager at Akin. I began working with Akin on a casual basis when we launched in 2008. In 2019 I started working part-time in a new role as the Facilities Manager supporting Akin in various ways with all of our facilities and supplies. I'm a freelance interior designer. I’m currently looking for a, contractual Facilities Assistant to support me on-site at Akin locations with facilities and supplies-related tasks.  

As the Facilities Assistant you should have your own set of hand power tools, access to a vehicle and a valid Ontario’s driver license. You should be comfortable driving a cube van or small moving truck (as we frequently rent these) and be able to complete physical tasks such as lifting up to 70lbs plywood sheets and climbing a ladder. You should have strong communication skills and be able to read basic floor plans and follow precise measurements. I am looking for someone with the ability to work independently to complete assigned tasks on-site. Experience with general construction, maintenance, repairs would be an asset, as would be the ability to troubleshoot when an issue arises and to correspond with the appropriate tradesperson. 

You would work directly with me as your supervisor, and will also be supported by Akin;s Studio Operations Manager, Studio Managers and Studio Assistants.  You can find out more about the whole Akin Team at www.akincollective.com/team. You may also interact occasionally with tradespeople, studio members, property managers and property owners. Since our organization is very member-focused, we are hoping to connect with someone who enjoys interacting with others and is happy to communicate, on a logistical basis, with our staff and studio members.

About Akin: 
Akin is a Toronto based arts organization established for the purpose of providing both studio spaces as well as creative and professional development opportunities to members of Toronto’s artistic and cultural community and the public at large. Since 2015, we have been able to support over 2,500 individuals through our offered services. Akin’s affordable studios and shared workspaces currently provide workspace for about 200 artists across our 6 locations. Akin is dedicated to providing a working environment that maintains a friendly and inspiring atmosphere where people can work on creative endeavours and entrepreneurial undertakings of all kinds. Akin builds community through monthly art critiques, workshops, open studio events, gallery tours, exhibitions, as well as various other art projects.
