Plastic-Production Specialist | Pay: 17-20 per hour (full time only)
Plastic production is where the magic of plastic holds literally catalyzes. You are either operating our high end dispensing machine to fill climbing molds, or hand pouring specialty sets. This is where you take liquid plastic and turn it into something our customers can climb on. This is a fast pace room where you must balance organization, quality, and speed. So if you are ready to throw on a respirator and put on your coveralls then reach out about this position.

Post-Production Specialist | Pay: $17 per hour (full time only)
Post production is dusty, loud, and 100% essential to making a quality climbing hold. If you are comfortable rolling up your sleeves and running powerful belt sanders this position might have your name all over it. A high attention to detail is critical to catching defects and preventing them in this stage of the manufacturing process. Working alongside other motivated people to produce quality climbing holds is what we are about.

Branding and Customer Service Manager | Pay: 50-60K salary
In other companies this position might be called a "Sales and Marketing Manager"; however, at Escape we think a bit differently about building our business. We sell by striving to serve our customers, and we think long term about building our brand vs. building out a quick marketing campaign.
The branding and customer service manager is responsible for all outgoing communication from managing the websites to social media. This position is also responsible for identifying and serving our customer needs from the home gym user to the international distributors. This is accomplished by following up with customers and checking on the experience.
