We are looking for someone who takes pride in building exceptional work and enjoys the challenges that come with truly custom woodworking. Because our projects are made specifically for each client, this is not a repetitive production environment. One project may involve a full set of custom cabinetry, while the next may include a unique built-in or one-of-a-kind furniture piece. The right person will be a builder first and a leader second—someone who wants to be actively involved in creating the work while also taking ownership of the shop and helping the team produce at a high level.
