Full Job Description

Position Summary

Note: must be in a 30 minute commuting rage

We are seeking a versatile, detail-oriented Woodworking & Manufacturing Technician to support our mill, CNC, finishing, and final-assembly operations. This is a hands-on role for a skilled craftsperson who can move between workstations as production needs change—keeping work flowing, eliminating bottlenecks, and holding consistently high quality and tight tolerances. Depending on experience, the position can be filled at an entry (shop-assistant) level with on-the-job development or at a skilled technician level. The ideal candidate brings strong mechanical aptitude, a sharp eye for detail, and a reliable, safety-first work ethic.

Key Responsibilities

Mill & Fabrication

Float between the mill and assembly departments based on production needs, prioritizing workflow efficiency and throughput.
Perform precision cutting, fitting, and fabrication of wood components to exact specifications.
Read and interpret shop drawings, cut lists, and written work instructions accurately.
Apply proper sanding techniques on raw materials (hardwoods and veneers) as well as sealed products.
Continually develop and apply milling techniques that improve product quality and efficiency.

CNC Operation

Set up and operate CNC machines: zero the machine, set origins, modify Z-depth, and zero out tools.
Load and run CNC programs efficiently to keep pace with production demand.
Perform basic troubleshooting, escalating more complex issues for input as needed.
Maintain blades and tooling and manage defects to minimize waste and rework.

Finishing (a strong plus / specialty track)

Skilled operation of an HVLP spray gun for both standard and high-gloss wood finishing.
Experience with water-based finish products preferred.
Properly sand and prepare raw and sealed surfaces to achieve a flawless finish.
Maintain finishing equipment, including proper cleaning of spray guns.

Assembly

Assist in the fabrication and assembly of products according to specifications.
Stage, kit, and prepare components for final assembly; ensure all parts are available and ready for use.
Support the assembly line to meet production goals and deadlines.

Quality, Safety & Continuous Improvement

Ensure all parts and assemblies meet quality standards and dimensional tolerances of ±1/32″.
Inspect work for accuracy, dimensions, and surface finish; identify, document, and communicate material defects or process issues.
Maintain a clean, organized work area—sweep and return tools and items to their place.
Follow all safety protocols and maintain safe working conditions at all times.
Propose improvement ideas with clear pros, cons, and expected benefits; help identify inefficiencies and solutions.

General & Team (skilled level)

Work with minimal supervision; make sound basic decisions and recognize when to escalate.
Manage changing priorities and keep up with production schedules.
Communicate effectively and collaborate as an enthusiastic team player.

Tools & Equipment

Comfortable and safe operating: table saw, miter / chop saw, band saw, vertical panel saw, router, panel sanders (incl. 2-head wide-belt sander), CNC machines, pneumatic staplers and nailers, HVLP spray equipment, and a full range of power and hand tools.

Measuring & layout: tape measure, calipers, squares, and related precision measuring tools.

Required Qualifications

Hands-on experience with standard woodworking equipment, including table saw, chop saw, and hand tools.
Working knowledge of CNC operation (basic setup and material handling required; programming a plus).
Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, cut lists, and specifications.
Ability to consistently measure and hold tight tolerances (within ±1/32″).
Solid mechanical aptitude, math skills, manual dexterity, and steady hand-eye coordination.
Strong attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and adaptability in a dynamic production environment.
Reliable, able to multi-task, prioritize, and manage time effectively; works well independently and on a team.
Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record and reliable transportation.
Able to pass a background check and drug test.
English language proficiency.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in custom manufacturing or high-end woodworking environments.
High-end wood finishing experience (3+ years), including water-based and high-gloss finishes, HVLP spray, and edge banding.
CNC programming experience.

Familiarity with production workflows and lean manufacturing principles.
Prior experience in both millwork and assembly environments.

Physical Requirements

Ability to lift up to 50 lbs (50+ lbs for finishing work).
Ability to stand for extended periods and perform repetitive movements.
Manual dexterity and safe operation of hand and power tools.
