- Use a variety of tools and equipment (saws, routers, edge-bander, drills, sanders, etc.).
- Inspect, finish, and ensure all items meet Colwin and AWMAC standards.
- Collaborate with the production team and apprentices to complete projects on time.
- Maintain a safe, clean, and organized workspace.
- Communicate effectively and contribute positively to a team-oriented environment.
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years’ experience in cabinetmaking / millwork construction or Red Seal Joinery certification.
- Strong knowledge of construction methods, materials, and finishing.
- Ability to read and understand construction drawings.
- Detail-oriented with strong problem-solving skills and a solution-focused mindset.
- Excellent communication skills and a positive, team-first attitude.
- Flexibility to adapt, help others, and take on challenges.
- Valid driver’s license (forklift license or installation experience is an asset).
What We Offer
- Competitive wages based on experience.
- Opportunities for growth and advancement within the company.
- A supportive and collaborative team environment.
- Variety in your work—you won’t be stuck building the same thing every day.
