What is fine woodworking?

A Fine Woodworking job involves designing, crafting, and finishing high-quality wooden items such as furniture, cabinetry, or decorative pieces. Skilled woodworkers use hand tools and machinery to shape, join, and refine wood with precision. This field requires knowledge of wood types, joinery techniques, and finishing processes to create aesthetically pleasing and durable products. Fine woodworkers may work independently, in custom workshops, or for specialized furniture manufacturers.

What types of projects and materials do fine woodworking professionals typically work with?

Fine Woodworking professionals commonly work on custom furniture, cabinetry, interior trim, musical instruments, and restoration projects, often using hardwoods such as oak, maple, cherry, or walnut. Projects may range from single bespoke items for private clients to detailed architectural installations for larger companies. The role involves close collaboration with designers, architects, and clients to interpret plans and ensure the final product matches expectations. Working with premium materials and complex joinery requires attention to quality and often the ability to adapt techniques to unique project needs. This diversity of projects ensures ongoing professional growth and a stimulating work experience.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in fine woodworking, and why are they important?

To thrive in Fine Woodworking, you need expert craftsmanship in woodworking techniques, a keen attention to detail, and often formal training or an apprenticeship in woodworking or cabinetry. Familiarity with hand and power tools, woodworking machinery, and knowledge of safety standards is essential, and certification from organizations such as the Woodwork Career Alliance can be advantageous. Creativity, patience, and strong problem-solving skills help craftsmen produce high-quality, customized pieces and overcome design or material challenges. These skills ensure both the precision of workmanship and the ability to meet specific client or project requirements in a competitive field.

Job description

This job is posted on behalf of CLT Recruiters
Millwork Design & Production Manager
Location: Long Island City, NY
Compensation: Competitive, commensurate with experience
Employment Type: Full-Time, On-Site
About the Role
Our client is a distinguished luxury residential millwork division with a reputation built on unparalleled craftsmanship, advanced fabrication capabilities, and the delivery of truly custom solutions for high-end homes. Operating out of Long Island City, they combine sophisticated design with hands-on production - CNC fabrication, fine woodworking, metalwork, and specialty concrete - all under one roof.
They are seeking a Millwork Design & Production Manager: a versatile, technically deep professional who can bridge the gap between design intent and shop floor execution. This is a role for someone who is equally at home generating precise shop drawings and standing next to a CNC machine, and who has the leadership presence to develop a skilled fabrication team. It comes with a genuine growth path for the right person - this division is building toward expanded operations and wants someone who can grow into a senior leadership role as the business scales.
What We're Looking For
This role demands a rare combination: design sophistication, fabrication fluency, and operational leadership. The ideal candidate has done all three - not just one.
  • Technically expert in digital modeling and shop drawing production for complex luxury millwork
  • Hands-on CNC experience - knows how to run the machine, not just spec it
  • Comfortable managing a fabrication team and holding them to luxury-grade standards
  • A design thinker who understands material science and pushes what's possible
  • Client-facing capable - able to communicate professionally about project details, specs, and logistics

Core Responsibilities
Design & Drafting
  • Lead the drafting process for custom luxury residential millwork projects, from concept through construction-ready shop drawings
  • Develop and refine digital models for structural details in coordination with architectural and engineering specifications
  • Generate precise shop drawings for the fabrication team, maintaining exacting standards of accuracy and detail
  • Contribute to project narrative and concept development, translating client vision into buildable design

Fabrication & Production
  • Operate and manage advanced CNC machinery including 3-axis CNC milling and laser cutting for custom component production
  • Coordinate fabrication workflows across design, engineering, and production to meet luxury quality and schedule standards
  • Provide hands-on expertise in fine woodworking, metalwork, and specialty concrete fabrication techniques
  • Supervise and support the fabrication team through assembly, ensuring meticulous attention to detail at every stage

Operations & Project Coordination
  • Manage project schedules, material procurement, and resource allocation within the millwork shop
  • Maintain client communication on project details, specifications, and logistics with professional, high-touch service
  • Uphold rigorous quality control standards across all production activities
  • Drive continuous improvement in fabrication methods, material applications, and shop processes

Leadership & Team Development
  • Mentor and develop fabrication team members, elevating their skills in high-end craftsmanship
  • Model the standards of quality, precision, and professionalism the brand is built on
  • Actively contribute to the growth and operational development of the division over time

Qualifications
  • Proven experience in a professional design and fabrication environment, specifically within luxury residential millwork or high-end custom fabrication - required
  • Demonstrated expertise in digital modeling for structural details and generating comprehensive shop drawings for complex projects
  • Hands-on CNC machinery experience, including operation and working knowledge of maintenance
  • Multi-material fabrication experience: fine woods, metals, and specialty concrete applications
  • Strong communication, organizational, and leadership skills with the ability to manage demanding timelines and client expectations
  • A genuine passion for material science, fabrication innovation, and the application of advanced techniques to luxury environments
  • Degree in Architecture, Industrial Design, Construction Management, Engineering, Fine Arts (3D/fabrication focus), or a related field - or equivalent demonstrated expertise

Technical Proficiencies
  • CAD/CAM: Rhino + Grasshopper, RhinoCam, Revit, Polycam
  • Design/Graphics: Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
  • Office: Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel)

The Opportunity
This is an exceptional opportunity for a design-fabrication hybrid professional to take ownership of a high-performing luxury millwork operation and build something meaningful within it. Our client offers competitive compensation commensurate with experience, a hands-on and craft focused environment, and real long-term growth potential for the right person. If you are technically exceptional, leadership-capable, and driven by the pursuit of quality without compromise, we want to hear from you.
Our client is an equal opportunity employer
