Vinogradofff is a growing woodworking company specializing in custom solid wood furniture, live edge projects, hardwood lumber, woodworking supplies, and professional woodworking services. We combine a custom furniture manufacturing shop with a retail woodworking store and showroom.
We are looking for a highly skilled furniture maker who is ready to take a leadership role inside a growing woodworking company. This position combines hands-on furniture making, production leadership, team development, operational improvement, customer support, and shop organization.
This is not a desk-management role.
We are looking for a true craftsman first — someone respected because of their woodworking knowledge, problem-solving ability, and leadership on the shop floor.
