Job Description
Cabinet Shop Technician – Sanding, Assembly & Finishing
Raleigh Woodworks – Raleigh, NC
Full-time | Monday–Friday | $20–$24 per hour
Raleigh Woodworks is looking for a dependable, detail-oriented Cabinet Shop Technician to join our custom cabinetry production team.
This position will begin primarily with sanding and preparing cabinet components for finishing. Over time, the right person will have the opportunity to cross-train in cabinet construction, spray finishing, or both.
We are looking for someone who already has professional experience in at least one related area, such as cabinet or furniture sanding, cabinet construction, woodworking, millwork, professional painting, or spray finishing. You do not need to have experience in every area—we can teach the right person additional skills.
What You’ll DoSand raw wood, plywood, MDF, primed parts, and finished cabinet components
Fill nail holes, seams, scratches, and other surface imperfections
Prepare cabinet parts between primer and finish coats
Inspect surfaces carefully and identify defects before components move to the next production stage
Label, organize, and protect cabinet parts throughout production
Assist with cabinet assembly, shelves, drawer components, hardware, and other shop tasks
Safely handle and move cabinetry and materials
Maintain sanding equipment, dust-control systems, and an organized work area
Follow job-specific instructions and Raleigh Woodworks’ quality standards
Cross-train in cabinet building or spray finishing as skills and performance develop
This is primarily a shop position—not an installation or general construction position. The work can be repetitive and requires patience, consistency, and close attention to detail.
What We’re Looking ForAt least one year of professional hands-on experience in cabinetry, woodworking, furniture production, millwork, automotive/body preparation, professional painting, or finishing
Experience in at least one of the following:
Sanding and surface preparation
Cabinet construction or assembly
Professional spray finishing
Ability to read a tape measure and follow written production instructions
Strong attention to detail and the ability to recognize surface defects
Dependable attendance and punctuality
Willingness to perform sanding and preparation work as a primary responsibility
Ability to accept feedback, correct mistakes, and learn new processes
Ability to work both independently and as part of a small production team
Commitment to working safely and using required protective equipment
Ability to lift and maneuver materials weighing approximately 50 pounds, with team assistance for heavier items
Experience with custom cabinetry, paint-grade woodwork, cabinet coatings, shop drawings, hinges, drawer slides, or spray equipment is helpful but not required.
Pay and GrowthStarting pay is $20–$24 per hour , based on demonstrated experience and skill.
The top of the range is intended for someone who can already work independently in cabinet construction, professional finishing, or advanced cabinet preparation.
This position offers the opportunity to advance as additional skills are developed. Future pay increases are based on:
Quality and consistency
Productivity
Attendance and reliability
Ability to work independently
Demonstrated cabinet-building or finishing skills
Willingness and ability to take on additional responsibilities
Employer contribution toward health insurance
Paid sick time
Paid vacation
Weekday daytime schedule
On-the-job cross-training
Opportunities for skills-based advancement
Benefits are subject to eligibility requirements and company policies.
