We're hiring an experienced Shop Foreman to lead the launch of a brand-new Wood-Metal Integration Department with an established manufacturing company in Clifton, NJ.

This is a unique opportunity for a hands-on leader who enjoys building alongside their team—not managing from an office.

• Build and assemble premium millwork onto stainless steel cabinetry
• Help design the workflow and layout of the new millwork department
• Recruit, train, and mentor a team of skilled cabinet makers and millworkers
• Develop quality standards and production processes
• Ensure products meet strict commercial quality and sanitary standards
• Coordinate with the metal fabrication team for seamless production flow

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of commercial or architectural millwork experience
• Previous leadership or Shop Foreman experience
• Skilled finish millworker with strong fabrication abilities
• Experience working with stainless steel or integrating wood with metal is highly preferred
• Comfortable working hands-on while leading a team
• Strong computer skills (MRP/ERP experience is a major plus)
• Experience with commercial projects such as hospitals, universities, stadiums, or foodservice environments is a plus

Schedule

• Monday–Friday
• 7:30 AM – 4:00 PM
• Two 15-minute breaks and a 30-minute lunch
• Overtime available

Compensation & Benefits

• $75,000–$80,000 annual salary
• Overtime opportunities
• Comprehensive medical and dental coverage
• Union healthcare and pension benefits
• IRA match
• Paid holidays, vacation, and sick time
• Long-term career opportunity with an established manufacturing company

If you're a skilled millwork professional ready to help build something from the ground up while staying hands-on in the shop, we'd love to hear from you.
