We take pride in quality craftsmanship, reliable scheduling, attention to detail, and professional installation. As a growing company, we're building our team and our processes from the ground up, creating opportunities for the right people to take on responsibility and grow with us.

About the Position

BAMF is looking for an experienced, hands-on Shop & Installation Foreman to join our growing commercial millwork operation.

This is a working leadership position. You will spend your time both building in the shop and working on commercial installations, while also helping our General Manager, oversee the day-to-day coordination of shop production, materials, scheduling, installations, and field crews.

The right person will be someone who knows how to build and install quality cabinetry and millwork, but is also organized, dependable, and capable of taking ownership of what needs to happen next.

You will be a key link between the shop, installation crews, project managers, vendors, and our General Manager.

What You'll Do

Shop & Production

• Work hands‑on building, assembling, and preparing commercial cabinetry and millwork.
• Help lead the day‑to‑day workflow of the shop and keep production moving.
• Review upcoming projects and help determine when fabrication should begin based on project schedules and installation deadlines.
• Help establish daily and weekly production priorities.
• Monitor progress and communicate potential delays or issues to management and the project team.
• Make sure completed work is ready for delivery and installation.

Materials & Inventory

• Keep track of shop inventory and monitor material and hardware needs.
• Review upcoming projects to identify what materials, hardware, and components will be needed and when.
• Work with the purchasing team to communicate material needs and required delivery dates.
• Help ensure your team has the correct materials on hand when production needs to begin.
• Identify shortages, missing materials, or potential delays before they impact production.
• Keep the shop organized and maintain an accurate understanding of available materials.

Installation

• Work hands‑on with commercial cabinet and millwork installations.
• Help determine when projects are ready for installation based on shop completion and jobsite readiness.
• Schedule and coordinate installation crews with management and the project team.
• Make sure installers have the necessary materials, hardware, drawings, and information before going to the jobsite.
• Troubleshoot field issues and make adjustments when needed.
• Help maintain BAMF's standards for quality, professionalism, and workmanship on every installation.

Vendors & Subcontractors

• Coordinate with outside vendors and specialty subcontractors as needed.
• Help schedule stone, countertop, and other specialty installation work.
• Communicate project scope, timing, and requirements to vendors.
• Execute subcontract agreements with approved vendors when authorized.
• Monitor vendor performance, quality, schedule and communicate issues to management.

Working Leadership

• Provide day‑to‑day direction to cabinet builders, installers, and assistants.
• Work alongside the team rather than simply supervising from the sidelines.
• Train and mentor less‑experienced employees.
• Help determine what needs to be done next and keep the team productive.
• Hold yourself and the team accountable for quality, organization, and deadlines.
• Lead by example in the shop and on commercial jobsites.
• Help management identify and solve problems before they become larger issues.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in cabinetmaking, commercial millwork, woodworking, installation, or a related trade.

• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.
• Ability to lift 50+ pounds.
• Must be able to pass a drug and background screening.
