Ready to Build Your Craft and Future Alongside the Best?

You're hands-on, hardworking, and you take satisfaction in a job done right. You know your way around a toolbox, you show up ready to work, and you understand that quality installations don't happen by accident, they happen because the right people care enough to get every detail right.

That's exactly who we're looking for.

We're hiring an Installation Tech to work alongside our Lead Installer, supporting the execution of custom closet and home organization projects in clients' homes. This isn't just a helper role, it's a front-row in a skilled trade, working with someone who takes craftsmanship and exceeding client expectations seriously and will expect the same from you.

What this actually looks like day-to-day:

You’ll assist with in-home installations of custom closet and home storage systems, reading designs, handling materials, operating tools, and keeping the job site clean, organized, and moving efficiently. The Lead sets the standard; your job is to match it and help the team deliver a finished space the client is genuinely thrilled with.

What sets this opportunity apart:

• Work at a growing company that rewards quality work and creates opportunities for promotion
• Learn directly from an experienced Lead in a craft that rewards skill development
• Work for ownership that values quality over shortcuts and is actively involved in the business
• Earn referral commission if you bring in a customer, your hustle is rewarded
• A team environment where your reliability and attention to detail will get noticed

You're likely the right fit if you:

Have some experience with carpentry, cabinetry, or hands-on installation work, can read a design schematic, handle physical demands comfortably, and genuinely care about leaving a client's home looking better than when you arrived.

A good Tech becomes a great Lead. If you're looking for the opportunity to grow in a role with people who take the work seriously, we'd like to hear from you.

Requirements

• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and schematics
• Familiarity with a variety of tools and equipment used in closet installations
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability to lift and carry heavy objects and perform physical tasks as needed

Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Vocational or technical training in carpentry or a related field preferred
• Experience with closet installation a big plus

Responsibilities

• Work with Lead to install custom closet systems in clients' homes or businesses according to design specifications
• Ensure high-quality workmanship and attention to detail
