About Metrolina Woodworks
Metrolina Woodworks is a leading provider of custom commercial cabinetry and architectural millwork, based in Stallings, NC and serving the greater Charlotte market. We deliver durable, high-quality, visually striking casework and millwork across medical, corporate office, restaurant, education, and multi-family projects. We take pride in doing the job right. We are — "Built Different" — and we’re looking to grow our team with a skilled and reliable Assistant Commercial Cabinet & Millwork Installer.
Position Summary
We’re looking for a Cabinet & Millwork Installer to support our lead installers on active commercial jobsites, delivering and installing custom cabinetry and other architectural millwork on schedule and to spec. This role works hands-on alongside experienced installers, learning our shop’s install standards while helping bring projects to life in the field.
This is not a lead role. You’ll typically work under a lead installer, but you should be capable of handling smaller tasks or short stretches of a job solo when needed, with minimal supervision. Your craftsmanship, precision, and professionalism will directly impact the final look, function, and quality of every job — and while in the field, you represent Metrolina Woodworks to our clients and GCs.

- Safely load, transport, and unload cabinetry, casework, and millwork to job sites
- Assist lead installer with staging and installing cabinetry, casework, and millwork per shop drawings

- Maintain a professional and respectful presence on client job sites
- Travel to commercial jobsites across the Charlotte metro; occasional overnight travel on an as-needed basis (rare)

- Must supply own standard hand tools
