Cabinet Maker Shop Assistant
Brandon Parrow Cabinetmakers — Wilmington, NC Full-time | Pay negotiable based on experience
About Us
Brandon Parrow Cabinetmakers is a locally owned custom kitchen and bath cabinetry company serving Wilmington and the surrounding coastal region. We design and build cabinetry for homeowners, remodelers, and builders who want quality work and a personal experience they can't get from a big-box store. We're a small, growing team — and this role is a hands-on way to learn a real trade from the inside.
The Role
You'll work in our shop alongside experienced cabinetmakers, helping keep production moving on custom kitchen and bath cabinetry. This isn't a starting-from-zero position — we're looking for someone who already knows their way around a shop or job site and can contribute from week one. For the right person, there's a clear path from shop assistant to skilled cabinetmaker as your abilities grow.
What you'll do:
- Assist with cutting, sanding, assembly, and finishing of custom cabinetry
- Load, unload, and organize lumber, sheet goods, and hardware
- Keep the shop clean, organized, and safe — sweeping, stacking, maintaining work areas
- Help pack, load, and deliver finished cabinetry to job sites
- Assist installers on-site as needed
- Operate shop equipment under supervision as your skills develop
Who We're Looking For
Required:
- Minimum 2 years of experience in woodworking, cabinetmaking, carpentry, or a related trade
- Reliable and punctual — the shop depends on you being here
- Able to lift 50+ lbs regularly and stay on your feet through a shift
- Proficient with hand and power tools
- Attention to detail — in custom work, close enough isn't good enough
- Valid driver's license
- Positive Attitude
Nice to have:
- Cabinet shop experience specifically (vs. general carpentry or construction)
- Experience with table saws, edge banders, CNC equipment, or spray finishing
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive hourly pay, negotiable based on experience
- Quarterly performance bonus
- Paid time off
- Health insurance Stipend
- 401(k) with company match
- Training on our equipment and processes
Schedule
- Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
How to Apply
Apply through Indeed with your resume and a summary of your trade experience. Photos of your work are welcome — we'd love to see what you've built.
