About The Position

As our Door Prep Technician, you are the "Point A" of our craftsmanship. You don't just prep parts; you set the rhythm for the entire shop. You’ll take raw jambs, slabs, and sills and—with wizard-level precision—transform them into a perfectly machined kit ready for our assembly teams to bring to life. If you aren't accurate, the door doesn't swing. You are the foundation.

Requirements

Consistently produces jambs that meet all structural and functional standards (squareness, reveal consistency, and hinge/latch routing depth) on the first attempt.
Demonstrates high attention to detail by ensuring all wood species, frame depths, handings, and custom cutouts perfectly match the provided shop drawings.
Maintains a steady pace of physical output, effectively managing the measuring, cutting, and joinery of raw lumber throughout the duration of a shift.
Minimizes downtime and material scrap by transitioning smoothly between standard and custom runs while maintaining a synchronized bench setup.
Operates all stationary machinery, power tools, and pneumatic equipment using proper safety and ergonomic techniques to ensure a zero-incident work environment.

Responsibilities

Master the Machine: You’ll be the pilot of our routing and machining stations, expertly cutting, sizing, and boring jambs, mullions, and slabs for both interior and exterior units.
Hardware Heroics: Standard locks? Easy. Specialized multi-point locks and custom mortise preps? That’s where you shine. You ensure every piece of hardware fits like a glove.
The Air Traffic Controller: You’ll ensure every prepped component is labeled clearly and delivered to the Assembly Teams exactly when and where they need it.
Work Order Wizardry: You’ll read and interpret work orders with an eye for detail that catches mistakes before they happen.
The Heavy Lifting: You’ll stay active, maneuvering 50–70 lbs throughout the day. It’s a workout you get paid for!
Tool Savvy: You speak the language of hand tools, power tools, and pneumatic systems fluently.
