We are looking for a Junior Kitchen Designer / AutoCAD Technician to join our team and grow with the company.

This position is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate or someone at the beginning of their design career who is proficient in AutoCAD, eager to learn, and interested in kitchen design, cabinetry, and custom millwork.
