About this role
UOVO, a national leader in specialized storage and logistics for high-value art and collectibles, is seeking an Art Handler/Driver for its Detroit facility. This role sits at the intersection of skilled trades and art world expertise—you'll handle everything from packing and transporting valuable artworks to installing pieces at client locations and managing the detailed paperwork that protects both the objects and the business. The work demands physical capability (moving items up to 150 pounds, carrying 40 pounds over distance, and managing warehouse equipment), practical knowledge of art handling and packing methods, and the problem-solving mindset to troubleshoot installation challenges on the fly.
The position requires five days a week on-site in Detroit, with flexibility for occasional evening and weekend work. You'll report to the Technical Services Supervisor and collaborate with internal teams in a fast-paced environment where attention to detail and clear communication matter as much as physical skill. A valid driver's license is required; a CDL is a bonus. The role suits someone with prior experience in art handling, storage management, or similar collection work—someone who understands both the logistics side and the care these objects demand.
UOVO backs this role with genuine benefits: a fully employer-covered medical option, two weeks of vacation that increases over your first five years, ten paid holidays, parental leave, 401k matching up to 3%, and additional perks like commuter benefits and childcare support. The company emphasizes collaborative culture and recognizes employee contributions through its "Eggcellence Awards" program.
