Volunteer Shop Manager Application
Join an awesome crew of volunteers that help maintain the shop!

Shop Managers are responsible for managing and maintaining a designated workshop at Port City Makerspace.

Volunteers in this role are eligible to receive the following benefits:

  • Maker’s Guild level (24/7 access) membership
  • Discounts on makerspace-hosted classes
  • Flexible schedule
  • Networking opportunities and assistance
  • Letters of recommendation or recognition for exceptional service

To be a Shop Manager, applicants must apply and be accepted into the program. Participation in the program is considered “at will” and may be ended at any time by the Board of Directors if the responsibilities above are not met.

Shop Managers responsibilities include the following:

  • Functional upkeep of the shop, making sure the workspace is clean, accessible, and usable; training members to do the same
  • Ensuring that tools are inspected and maintained
  • Coordinating safety check-outs for new members that need them
  • Maintaining a “critical inventory” list, and keeping consumables available at appropriate levels
  • Managing the shop’s PEX account for consumables and operational expenses
  • Coordinating shop projects, shop improvements, tool acquisitions and upgrades
  • Assist the Makerspace in offering a variety of classes, including at least one introductory-level class in your shop each month
  • Schedule and host a regular meeting in your shop (recommended monthly) where members/users of the shop discuss needs, improvements, comments, questions, and assign volunteer tasks.

Many of these responsibilities can be shared with other members and volunteers; it is the responsibility of the Shop Manager to make sure they are handled in a proper and timely fashion.  Managing funds and safety clearance checkouts must be handled by the shop manager.
