Wood Shop Technician
We are currently filling one full-time position or two part-time positions. Both options are available, and we will consider the right candidates for either schedule.
Before You Apply — Read This First
This is a physically demanding, hands-on job in a working woodshop. Every day involves lifting, sanding, finishing, and moving furniture — often heavy, often awkward. You will be on your feet for 8+ hours, using your hands, arms, and back constantly.
We are not a good fit if you are looking for light work or something to do between other things. We are a great fit if you take pride in doing physical work well, show up ready to push, and want to grow with a company that rewards skill and effort.
2 years of manual labor experience is required. This is not negotiable.
About Us
Sacramento Furniture Restoration is a customer-focused furniture restoration company that repairs and restores wooden furniture. We are a growing company and the right person will have a real opportunity to help shape what we become — not just fill a seat.
Are You the Right Fit?

- You take pride in your work and hold yourself to a high standard
- You are reliable, coachable, and show up ready to work hard
- You want to grow your skills and your income as the company grows
Responsibilities
- Read and follow work orders — accuracy matters
- Gather necessary materials, supplies, and tools for each restoration project
- Sand, finish, and restore furniture using power and hand tools
- Perform quality control checks on completed items to ensure they meet work order specs and SFR standards
- Assist with customer pickups and deliveries — furniture is heavy and awkward
- Keep the woodshop clean, organized, and safe at all times
- Communicate effectively with your supervisor and coworkers
- Help ensure every customer receives the best possible quality, service, and value
Physical Demands — This Is What the Job Looks Like
We want to be upfront about what this job requires. If any of these are a concern, this may not be the right role for you:
- Lift, carry, push, and pull furniture up to and in excess of 50 lbs — repeatedly throughout the day
- Stand, walk, stoop, bend, and kneel for 8 or more hours daily
- Constant use of arms, hands, fingers, eyes, legs, and back
- Work in a woodshop environment — sawdust, fumes, noise, and tight spaces are part of the job
- Maneuver large furniture pieces in confined areas — this takes strength and coordination
Requirements
- 2 years of manual labor experience — required
- Woodworking or finishing experience strongly preferred
- Ability to learn quickly and follow detailed instructions
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality
- Excellent communication skills; ability to work independently and as part of a team
