Qualifications

• Experienced cabinetmaker, bench carpenter, custom millwork builder, or architectural woodworker with demonstrated fabrication ability.

• Verify field dimensions, critical tolerances, revisions, materials, grain direction, veneer sequence, finishes, and hardware before fabrication.
• Identify unclear, conflicting, or unbuildable details and coordinate with Engineering or the Production Supervisor before proceeding.
• Lay out components accurately using drawings, full-size patterns, templates, story poles, or direct measurement as appropriate.
• Fabricate custom architectural millwork from hardwood, veneer, plywood, MDF, particleboard, laminates, and other approved materials.
• Build complex assemblies using appropriate joinery, adhesives, dowels, splines, biscuits, fasteners, clamps, jigs, and fixtures.
• Cut, shape, route, drill, sand, scribe, fit, and assemble components using hand tools and stationary or portable woodworking equipment for which the employee is trained and authorized.
• Construct curved, angled, radiused, segmented, sequenced, or otherwise nonstandard components where required by the approved design.
• Fit wood moldings, trim, doors, drawers, panels, hardware, and specialty components to achieve consistent reveals, alignment, and operation.
• Fabricate or integrate solid-surface components when assigned and properly trained, following approved fabrication procedures.
