Job Description

About Renew Medic by UCC

Renew Medic specializes in cabinet disaster restoration — repairing, rebuilding, and refinishing cabinets damaged by water or fire while homeowners remain in their homes.

We are not a high-volume remodel shop.
We are not production-at-all-costs.

We are craftspeople solving real problems for families, insurance carriers, and restoration partners — and we do it with quality, urgency, and pride.

Our Mission & Values (Non-Negotiable)

Our Mission

We restore cabinets damaged by water, fire, or disaster — helping Utah homes and businesses regain functional kitchens and bathrooms quickly and with minimal disruption.

How We Work

We hire for these first. Skills can be trained. These cannot.

• Prompt, Clear Communication – We communicate early, clearly, and proactively
• Follow-Through & Reliability – We do what we say we will do, when we say we will do it
• Customer-First Mindset – We respect homes, job sites, and the stress of post-loss situations
• Pride in Work – We care about quality, details, and finishing strong
• Ownership Mentality – If it touches your role, you own it
• Honesty & Respect – We speak directly, surface issues early, and act with integrity
• Team Accountability – We support teammates and protect the culture together

You will be evaluated on how you work just as much as what you produce.

The Role

We are hiring a Lead Cabinet Finisher — a senior, independent finisher who takes ownership of cabinet finishing quality, consistency, and execution.

This is a foundational role. You will be relied on heavily for:

• Craftsmanship and finish quality
• Color matching and problem-solving
• Setting the standard for how finish work is done

This is not a junior or helper position.

Essential Job Functions

The Lead Cabinet Finisher must be able to independently and consistently perform the following essential functions:

Cabinet Finishing & Refinishing

• Finish and refinish cabinets to professional standards (painting, staining, clear coats, glazes, toners)
• Accurately color match to existing cabinetry and finishes
• Properly prep surfaces including cleaning, sanding, masking, and priming
• Identify and correct finish defects such as runs, dry spray, sheen inconsistency, or contamination
• Ensure finished cabinets meet Renew Medic quality standards before installation or reinstallation

Shop Equipment & Production Support

• Operate finishing-related shop equipment including spray systems, sanders, and prep tools
• Work with CNC-built cabinet components and understand finish requirements tied to build tolerances
• Coordinate with builders and production team to align finish approach with job requirements
• Maintain finishing tools, materials, and work areas in clean, ready condition

Expectation: The Lead Cabinet Finisher is expected to be comfortable working in a modern cabinet shop environment, but this role is focused on finish quality, execution, and leadership — not production speed at the expense of quality.

Communication & Shop Standards

• Communicate clearly and respectfully with ownership and teammates
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized finishing area
• Follow all safety, PPE, and shop procedures

Required Qualifications (Non-Negotiable)

• Proven ability to independently finish and refinish cabinets at a professional level
• Strong experience with color matching and finish blending
• High attention to detail and pride in craftsmanship
• Ability to identify and resolve finish issues without constant supervision
• Reliable attendance and strong personal accountability
• Alignment with Renew Medic’s mission, values, and principles

Preferred (Not Required)

• Experience in restoration or fast-turn environments
• Experience mentoring or leading other finishers or technicians
• Experience with spray booth environments and finish troubleshooting

Physical & Work Environment Requirements

This position involves physical labor and environmental conditions essential to cabinet finishing and refinishing work, including work in spray booth and finishing areas.

The employee must be able to:

• Safely lift, carry, push, and pull materials and cabinet components up to 30 pounds, with or without reasonable accommodation
• Stand and work on their feet for extended periods
• Bend, kneel, crouch, reach, and perform repetitive motions required for surface preparation and finishing
• Wear required personal protective equipment (PPE), including respirators or face masks, gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing
• Work safely in spray booth and finishing environments, including areas with controlled exposure to paints, stains, clear coats, and finishing materials
• Meet the requirements to use respiratory protection, including the ability to:
• Successfully complete a respirator fit test, and
• Complete a medical evaluation required for respirator use, as determined by applicable safety regulations
• Tolerate working in environments with odors, airborne particulates, and temperature-controlled airflow while using required PPE
• Maintain focus and coordination while performing detailed finishing work in enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces
• Work safely around finishing equipment, ventilation systems, noise, and shop machinery in accordance with safety protocols

Reasonable Accommodation Statement

Renew Medic by UCC will provide reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities in accordance with applicable law, provided the accommodation does not impose an undue hardship on business operations.

What You Get Out of This Role

• Consistent, year-round work in a recession-resistant industry
• Clear expectations and accountability
• Trust and autonomy — hired to lead, not be micromanaged
• A shop where quality, professionalism, and respect matter
• Opportunity to grow responsibility as the company scales
