Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced craftsman who operates at a high level in a production shop environment. This role is for someone who understands the difference between “getting it done” and executing work to a professional millwork standard—clean, consistent, and correct the first time.

Core Responsibilities

• Fabricate and assemble high-end architectural millwork, casework, and custom components
• Execute work across veneer, plastic laminate, and solid wood with precision
• Interpret shop drawings and build exactly to spec with minimal oversight
• Maintain tight tolerances, clean joinery, and consistent finishes
• Operate shop equipment efficiently (table saw, edgebander, CNC, routers, etc.)
• Identify issues before they become problems and take ownership of solutions
• Work collaboratively while maintaining personal accountability for output and quality

Qualifications

• 5+ years experience in a commercial/custom millwork shop
• Strong working knowledge of veneer layup, laminate application, and solid wood construction
• Ability to read and execute detailed shop drawings without supervision
• Proven track record of high-quality craftsmanship and production efficiency
• Strong understanding of materials, sequencing, and build methods
• Reliable, disciplined, and detail-oriented

Preferred

• CNC operation and programming experience
• Finishing experience (stains, conversion varnish, lacquers)
• Field installation experience

What Sets This Role Apart

• We are not a production-only shop—we build detailed, high-end work
• You will be surrounded by experienced craftsmen who take pride in their work
• Expectations are high, but so is the standard of work and environment
• Opportunity to grow into leadership roles as the company scales

Compensation

• Competitive pay based on experience and output
• Performance-based growth opportunities
