Journeyman and/or Master Cabinet Maker
Vail Valley, CO • Full-time • $40–$55/hr, DOE
Posted August 22, 2026
The Opportunity
Sawhorse Woodworking and Design builds custom cabinetry and fine woodwork for homes throughout the Vail Valley. Take a look at our work at sawhorsewoodworkingdesign.com before you apply. We have steady, ongoing project work on the books, and we're looking to add a Master Cabinet Maker to the shop for the long haul — not a fill-in for a busy season.
This is a craft-first shop. The people who do best here are the ones who'd rather spend an extra hour getting a reveal line right than let something average out the door.
The Craft
- Design, build, and install custom cabinetry, built-ins, and fine furniture pieces to an exacting standard
- Execute fine joinery — dovetails, mortise and tenon, and other traditional techniques — alongside modern cabinetmaking methods
- Select and prepare materials, including hardwood, veneer, and sheet stock, with an eye for grain, color, and match
- Operate and maintain shop machinery: table saws, planers, jointers, CNC equipment, and finishing tools
- Read and interpret shop drawings, architectural plans, and finish schedules
- Partner with clients, designers, and the project team from concept through final installation
- Mentor junior shop staff and help keep the shop clean, organized, and running efficiently
Who We're Looking For
- 5+ years building custom cabinetry or fine furniture, ideally on high-end residential work
- True mastery of hand-tool and power-tool technique, including fine joinery
- An eye for detail that doesn't quit once a piece looks “good enough”
- Comfortable reading shop drawings and working independently from a set of plans
- Ready to mentor others and take ownership of your own project timeline
- Comfortable working in a mountain environment year-round
- Valid driver's license, and legally authorized to work in the United States
What You'll Get
- $40–$55/hr, based on experience
- Immediate start with steady, long-term work already on the books
- Small shop where your name is on the work and everyone knows it
- Room to grow with the company as we take on more of the Valley's custom projects
- Education / training support
- Hiring bonus
- Paid time off
