About Kent Moore Cabinets

For over fifty years, Kent Moore Cabinets has built custom cabinetry the way it was always meant to be built - by hand, with patience, and without shortcuts. Behind every finished piece that leaves our design centers is a production team that keeps the shop floor running, and we're looking for a Controls Engineer who takes the same pride in keeping our machinery running that our craftsmen take in their woodwork.
