Working Shop Lead — Commercial Casework
We already have trusted CNC operation and separate engineering support. We need the experienced woodworker who makes sure the work actually goes together.
This is a hands-on lead role. You’ll receive approved drawings, CNC-cut parts, purchased materials, and a required date. You’ll review the work for constructability, plan secondary operations, lead assembly, solve difficult details, and take the job to shop-ready completion — while teaching the people working beside you.
You probably fit if:
- You have five or more years building casework, fixtures, production cabinetry, or architectural millwork.
- You understand particleboard, MDF, melamine, laminate, veneer, edge banding, hardware, and frameless assembly.
- You can read a drawing and see the build sequence — and the likely failure points — before anything is cut.
- You enjoy solving difficult secondary operations and teaching someone else to do them correctly.
- You still want to build, not only supervise.
What you won’t be asked to own: sales, estimating, CAD detailing, G-code, or corporate plant management. The owner keeps customers and pricing. Engineering keeps Mozaik and CNC-ready data. Your job is how approved work actually gets built.
