Ever want a pet squid but you're allergic to sea creatures? Well, we can't help with that, but we can help you get ink all over everything. Free Geek is looking for a Printer Program Coordinator.
Responsibilities:
The Printer Coordinator is responsible for the maintenance and expansion of the printer repair, reuse and recycling program at Free Geek. This program is one of our major sources of income.
The Printer Coordinator also needs to recruit, train and draw on a volunteer base for the printer program. Like our build program, the printer repair program will be an educational opportunity for our volunteers.
In addition the Printer Coordinator participates in general Free Geek operations, being able to substitute for other collective members and fill in where needed. He/She also cross trains other collective members so that they will be able to cover gaps in the printer program.
This is a job in a worker collective. Your first three to six months would be as a provisional member of the collective. At the end of that time our decision whether or not to bring you on as a permanent collective member will be made through a peer review process.
Note: You may be a great candidate and not know it. It's more important for us to find someone who's dependable and empowered and resilient than someone who's a printer dork already. Fear not! With our help, you will become the printer dork you always wanted to be.

Required skills:
