We are expanding our team and looking for an experienced craftsman who values flawless joinery, understands the behavior of fine materials, and treats woodworking as a true craft.

Precision Milling & Assembly: Measure, cut, shape, and assemble solid wood, high-end veneers, laminates, and specialty materials using standard shop machinery and hand tools.

Shop Synergy: Collaborate closely with our design team and fellow makers to solve structural puzzles, maintain a safe environment, and perform routine machinery care.


Qualifications
Custom Craftsmanship Background: Documented experience in custom cabinetmaking and fine furniture fabrication (mass-production or assembly-line experience does not apply).

Bench Autonomy: Proven ability to take a custom build from raw material to final assembly completely independently.

Print Literacy: Strong competency in reading and working directly from technical sketches, design blueprints, and material specifications.

Equipment Fluency: High-level skill and safety awareness when operating table saws, routers, planers, shapers, and fine hand tools.
