Cowichan Woodwork Ltd. is looking for an experienced cabinet installer who takes pride in their work and wants to build a long-term career with a company that values craftsmanship, professionalism and teamwork.
For more than 20 years, Cowichan Woodwork has been located in Cobble Hill where we've been designing, manufacturing and installing premium custom residential cabinetry and commercial architectural millwork throughout British Columbia.

These awards reflect the investment we have made into our entire team, including the installers, who are fundamentally good people, who we have built strong relationships with, and who bring every project to life while never compromising on quality.
As our company continues to grow, we're making significant investments into our installation department because we believe our installers deserve the same level of support as every other part of our business.
That means better planning, better communication, better technology and the right people supporting you every step of the way.
