Shop Helper/Apprentice

Description

We are a well-established finish woodworking shop with over 30 years in business, seeking a full-time helper to join our team. This is an entry-level position focused on supporting experienced craftsmen in the production of high-quality cabinetry, furniture, and other fine finish woodwork.
This is a unique opportunity to learn directly from a craftsman with extensive knowledge and decades of hands-on experience. Candidates who are motivated and willing to apply themselves will gain valuable, marketable skills in a specialized trade.
Responsibilities include:

  • Assisting with all aspects of shop production as directed
  • Material handling, organization, and general shop upkeep
  • Supporting finish woodworking projects including cabinetry and custom furniture
  • Following safety procedures and maintaining a clean work environment
We are looking for someone who is:
  • Physically capable and comfortable with sustained manual labor
  • Dependable, punctual, and committed to quality work
  • A quick learner who takes direction well
  • Eager to develop skills and grow within the role
  • Prior woodworking or shop experience is a plus, but not required
Growth & Advancement
While this is an entry-level position, we believe in recognizing hard work and dedication. The right candidate who demonstrates reliability, a strong work ethic, and a genuine interest in the craft will have the opportunity to take on greater responsibility over time. This is a chance to grow within a skilled trade alongside someone who has spent decades mastering it — the foundation you build here can carry you a long way.
