About OZK Vans

OZK Vans designs and builds high-quality custom camper vans for clients who value craftsmanship, adventure, and life on the road. Our builds focus on durability, functionality, and clean design that allows our customers to travel comfortably and confidently.

As we prepare for upcoming growth and additional build capacity, we are building a bench of skilled builders who have experience with custom vehicle projects and camper van conversions.

This posting is intended to identify experienced builders for potential future project opportunities. While there may not be an immediate opening today, we are identifying strong candidates now so we can move quickly when additional build projects begin.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for individuals who understand how camper vans are built from the inside out and can contribute to multiple phases of a custom build.

Ideal candidates may have experience with:

Camper van conversions

RV interior builds

Custom cabinetry or finish carpentry

12V electrical systems and solar setups

Plumbing and water systems

Insulation and interior paneling

General fabrication and problem solving

Builders who are comfortable working independently and producing high-quality work tend to do very well in our shop.

Scope of Work

Depending on the project, builders may assist with:

Installing cabinetry and interior structures

Electrical system installation (12V / solar)

Plumbing systems and water tanks

Flooring, insulation, and wall paneling

Mounting accessories and exterior components

Troubleshooting and build adjustments

All work must meet high standards for quality, durability, and safety.

Contractor Requirements

Demonstrated hands-on build experience

Ability to work independently on assigned projects

Strong attention to detail and craftsmanship

Valid driver's license

Personal tools preferred

Interview Process

Our hiring process includes:

A short phone interview with our recruiting team

A casual lunch conversation at the shop with our Shop Manager and build team (for selected candidates)

This gives both sides an opportunity to discuss build experience and determine whether the shop environment is a good fit.

Because we are currently building a bench for future projects, there may be some time between interviews and project availability.

This opportunity is structured as an independent contractor relationship. Contractors operate independently and are responsible for their own taxes, insurance, and business expenses.

Submission of an application does not guarantee project work or engagement.
