Build Something Better With Us

Closet Factory Omaha is growing, and we're looking for a dependable CNC Operator who takes pride in their work and enjoys working with modern manufacturing technology.

We've recently expanded into a new facility with new equipment, improved workflow, and a strong focus on quality, efficiency, and continuous improvement. If you're looking for a long-term career where your skills matter and your work is appreciated, we'd like to talk with you.

We manufacture custom closets, garages, home offices, pantries, entertainment centers, and storage systems. Every project is different, and precision matters. We're looking for someone who enjoys working with machinery, solving problems, and helping keep production moving.

What You'll Do

• Operate our HOMAG CNC nesting machine to manufacture custom cabinetry components
• Load materials, run programs, and unload finished parts safely and efficiently
• Review production paperwork, cutlists, and material requirements
• Inspect finished parts for accuracy, quality, and completeness
• Monitor tooling, cutting performance, and machine operation
• Perform routine machine maintenance and keep equipment clean
• Identify and communicate machining errors, material issues, and production concerns
• Minimize material waste, unnecessary downtime, and rework
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area
• Work closely with engineering, cutlisting, and other manufacturing team members to meet production deadlines

What We're Looking For

• Experience operating CNC machinery, preferably in woodworking, cabinetry, or manufacturing

• Communicate problems instead of ignoring them
• Stay productive and look for ways to improve

This position is probably not a good fit if you need constant supervision, cut corners, blame others for mistakes, or are simply looking for a paycheck.

What We Offer

• Full-time, year-round employment
• Competitive pay based on experience
• Modern manufacturing facility and equipment
• Paid training and continued development
• Advancement opportunities
• Stable work environment
