About Us

Closet Factory Austin designs, builds, and installs custom closets, pantries, garages, and home offices for homeowners across Central Texas. We're a growing franchise of a national brand, and our shop runs a five-station production flow: Cutting → Edgebanding → Boring → Drawers. We build it right the first time so our installers can hit their dates and customers have their beautiful product installed on time.

We're hiring a Senior Cabinet Maker. You're the person who can run any station, take on the hardest jobs, and set the quality bar for everyone else through the work you produce. You'll report to our Shop Manager and work alongside the rest of the shop crew.

If you've spent time in custom cabinet, closet, or millwork shops, you take pride in clean cuts and tight reveals, and you'd rather be on the floor building than behind a desk, this is your seat.

• Build complete jobs end-to-end across all stations (Cutting, Edgebanding, Boring, Drawers)

• Take the lead on our most complex builds: large jobs, tricky materials, custom requests

• Read and interpret cutlists and shop drawings; catch errors before the saw runs

• Operate the panel saw, edgebander, CNC/boring machine, and drawer box assembly to a high standard

• Cut in-house TFL backs, ⅝" birch drawer boxes, flat base molding, and flat crown

• Self-check every part you produce: wrong cuts, missed bores, and bad edges don't move forward

• Show newer crew members the right way through the work itself

• Flag recurring problems to the shop manager (designer errors, material issues, machine wear) so they can be fixed at the root

• Keep your station clean, organized, and safe

Required

• 3+ years in a custom cabinet, closet, millwork, or architectural casework shop

• Strong hands-on experience with panel saws, edgebanders, and boring machines (CNC a plus)

• Can read shop drawings and cutlists fluently. Spot mistakes before they go out to a client.

• Excellent fundamentals: square, plumb, clean edges. Cares about the quality of the product they send out.

• Reliable, on time, able to lift 100+ lbs, and stand all day.

Nice to Have

• Experience with cabinet design software

• Strong with melamine/TFL, hardwood plywood, and laminate work

• Drawer box assembly experience (undermount and side mount slides)

• CNC router setup and operation

• Senior-level pay based on experience

• Health marketplace reimbursement monthly

• Paid time off

• A shop that's actively investing in better equipment, better systems, and better processes

• A team that respects the craft and the people who do it

• No politics, no babysitting,  just good work
