CNC machinist
at Based Upon
Based Upon is seeking a CNC machinist to join its team in London.
We are explorers and innovators who strive to bring awareness and authenticity to all of what we do, be it our artistic process or how we grow our people and business.
When creating we begin by going into nature to observe and listen; to be guided by what we immerse ourselves in; the artwork is there to be discovered. Once back at the studio, we begin to shape what we have collected to express that essence.
Sharing this mindset with all team members allows us create from a place of integrity and teamwork, feeding our intention to function as an organism.
We ask for involvement and participation from all our people, believing that a harmonious coordination between every aspect of Based Upon is conducive to creating great work, and to growth both as a company and as individuals.
