What are the responsibilities and job description for the Finish Carpenter - High-End Kitchen Installations position at The Kitchenworks?
The Kitchenworks builds the finest kitchens in South Florida — fully bespoke Dutch Made cabinetry, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, natural stone, and marine/yacht installations for an ultra-high-end clientele. Our median project is a $150,000 kitchen. Nothing we install is ordinary, and nothing leaves the site unless it's flawless.
We're looking for a Master Finish Carpenter / Cabinet Installer who takes real pride in precision work — someone who wants to do the best installations of their career, on the best projects, with a team that holds the same standard.
Why This Job Is Different
- You'll install the highest-caliber cabinetry in the market — no builder-grade, no volume tract work. Real bespoke craftsmanship.
- Top-of-market pay for the right person, plus some of the best benefits in the industry: generous 401(k) match, health, dental, vision, life insurance, paid holidays, and PTO.
- A team that respects the craft. We're a 36-year, family-run, award-winning shop. Our lead carpenter runs jobs with a helper, and we protect our people from chaos so you can do clean work.
- Every day is different — kitchens, bars, baths, built-ins, yachts.
The Standard We Hold
We install plumb, level, and square — dead-on. Our tolerances are tighter than typical field carpentry or even standard kitchen installation. If "close enough" satisfies you, this isn't your shop. If you're the person who can't leave a scribe or a reveal that's off by a hair, we want to talk.
What You'll Do
- Install custom kitchen and built-in cabinetry, moldings, panels, and trim to CAD elevations
- Unbox and inspect all cabinetry on arrival
- Read plans, lay out a kitchen, and learn our specific installation requirements
- Make clean, precise on-site modifications
- Run post-installation QC checks and client walk-throughs
- Keep an organized, clean job site every single day
- Interact with high-end clients professionally and represent the caliber of our work
- Hit project timelines without ever compromising craftsmanship
What You Bring
- Minimum 6 years installing high-end cabinetry (strongly preferred)
- Valid driver's license (required)
- Proven ability to install to CAD elevations — plumb, level, square, dead-on
- Full complement of your own tools: compound miter saw, table saw, track saw, Kreg jig, Domino or Lamello joiner, and the rest of your finish kit
- Sound knowledge of jobsite safety and safe power-tool operation
- Ability to work independently with minimal supervision, and as part of a crew
- Reliability, strong communication, and a schedule you can flex when a project demands it
How to Apply - This is important:
Send a short note and photos of your recent installation work. Craftsmanship speaks louder than a résumé. Send pictures of your truck and tools. We move fast for the right person.
