Maker of high-end cabinetry and furniture, specializing in custom work, is looking for a skilled woodworker / shop assistant with a minimum of 1 yr. experience in a professional shop. You would be assisting me on some projects and working independently on others. Every project we do is different and new, and the focus is always on quality, precision and craftsmanship.
The right candidate must be thoroughly familiar with all the major woodworking machinery (jointer, planer, panel saw, cabinet saw, bandsaw; extra credit for shaper) and the safety protocols and practices that go with them. If you get to the interview stage, you will be tested on these. Typical tasks for this position include: milling, cutting, sanding, edging, joinery and veneer work for the more advanced candidate, plus some shop maintenance. You must also be able to drive, lift heavy things, take direction and learn quickly on the job.
This is a part-time position that can turn full-time relatively quickly for the right person. Starting pay and weekly hours will vary depending on experience. If this sounds like a good fit, please respond with a brief note outlining your experience / education, photos of your work and some references. I will read all applications, but I will only respond to the applicants I want to interview. Looking forward to all the submissions from the woodworking community.
