- Assisting with edgebanding and other shop machinery
- Using drills, drivers, hand tools, and measuring tools
- Reading measurements and following cut lists and production instructions
- Assembling cabinets, drawers, shelving, and closet components
- Helping manufacture kitchen base cabinets, upper cabinets, and other cabinetry
- Organizing materials and preparing completed work for installation
- Maintaining a clean, safe, and efficient shop
- Learning our manufacturing methods and taking on greater responsibility as your skills develop

- Safety-conscious and attentive

- job
- Able to work cooperatively with an experienced lead closet and cabinet maker
Experience
Some hands-on experience in cabinetry, woodworking, carpentry, construction, remodeling, installation, manufacturing, or a similar trade is strongly preferred.
Extensive cabinetmaking experience is not required. However, applicants who have never worked with power tools or shop machinery may not be a good fit for this position.
Physical Requirements
This is an active shop position. Applicants must be able to stand for extended periods, handle full-size sheet materials with assistance, lift and carry cabinet components and materials, and work safely in a manufacturing environment.
Opportunity to Learn a Trade
We are looking for someone we can train and develop over time. You will work directly with an experienced closet and cabinet maker and learn the processes involved in manufacturing custom closets, kitchens, and cabinetry.
