Lead Cabinet Installer / Finish CarpenterBuild Something Better With Us

Closet Factory Omaha is growing, and we're looking for skilled installers and finish carpenters who take pride in their work.

We're currently moving into a brand-new facility with new equipment, improved workflow, and a strong focus on quality, efficiency, and continuous improvement. If you're looking for a long-term career where your craftsmanship matters and your work is appreciated, we'd like to talk with you.

This is not a production construction job. Every project is custom. Every installation is different. We are looking for professionals who enjoy solving problems, delivering quality work, and creating an exceptional customer experience.

What You'll Do

  • Install custom closets, garages, home offices, pantries, entertainment centers, and storage systems

  • Read drawings and installation paperwork

  • Load and unload materials safely

  • Perform finish carpentry and trim work as needed

  • Maintain a clean and professional jobsite

  • Communicate with customers professionally

  • Represent the company with pride and professionalism

What We're Looking For

  • Experience with cabinet installation, finish carpentry, millwork, remodeling, or related trades

  • Ability to read a tape measure and use hand and power tools confidently

  • Strong problem-solving skills

  • Positive attitude and willingness to learn

  • Reliable transportation and a valid driver's license

  • Ability to lift and carry materials as required

Our Culture

We're building a team based on:

  • Clear communication

  • Accountability

  • Teamwork

  • Pride in craftsmanship

We're looking for people who:

  • Show up on time

  • Take ownership of their work

  • Care about quality

  • Communicate well with customers and teammates

  • Want to grow professionally

This position is probably not a good fit if you need constant supervision, cut corners, blame others for mistakes, or are simply looking for a paycheck.

What We Offer

  • Full-time, year-round employment

  • Competitive pay based on experience

  • Company vehicle provided for qualified installers

  • Paid training and continued development

  • Advancement opportunities

  • Stable work environment

  • No history of layoffs due to lack of work

  • Opportunity to help shape the future of a growing company

Growth Opportunities

We believe in promoting from within whenever possible.

Potential career paths include:

  • Apprentice Installer

  • Installer

  • Lead Installer

  • Installation Manager

If you're a skilled craftsman looking for a company that values quality work, strong character, and long-term growth, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and help us build something exceptional.
