You’ll work with various materials to create products like shelving, panel systems, and trim work.

• Prepare workstations for assembly under guidance.


• Assemble fixtures like shelving, panel systems, and trim work using hand tools, power tools, and basic fastening methods (e.g., nails, screws, glue), with training provided.


• Perform quality checks with team support to ensure products meet standards.


• Work with teammates to address challenges and maintain production flow.


• Keep work areas clean and safe, including proper waste disposal and tool care.


• Complete basic documentation as trained and perform other tasks as assigned.


• Help track inventory by reporting low stock levels.
  

Experience Preferred

• High school diploma or equivalent preferred but not required.


• Any carpentry experience (e.g., home projects, construction, or woodworking) is welcome; no minimum years required.


• Finish or trim carpentry experience is a plus but not necessary.


• Basic math skills for measurements; ability to learn measuring tools.

General/Additional Responsibilities

• Willingness to work in indoor conditions with exposure to dust, noise, and temperature changes typical of a millwork plant.


• Ability to stand for long periods, lift up to 50 pounds, and perform repetitive tasks involving bending, reaching, and fine motor skills.


• Must pass a background check and drug screening; random drug testing may be administered.


• Ability to follow safety procedures and learn safety protocols.


• Reports to the Millwork Plant Supervisor and collaborates with the production team.

MUST HAVE THE DESIRE TO UNDERSTAND, ADAPT AND PROMOTE NICEWOOD’S CULTURE AND ETHOS AND BE AN AMBASSADOR FOR THE COMPANY AT ALL TIMES.
