About The Position
Omnify Lighting, a North American manufacturer of architectural back lighting systems, is seeking a skilled Crate Builder to join their packaging team. The primary responsibility is building custom wood crates to protect products during transit. This role involves measuring, cutting, and assembling crates using power saws, pneumatic tools, and hand tools.

While carpentry experience is beneficial, the company is willing to train individuals with a strong packaging background who prioritize safety.
