About Us

Blue Ribbon Millwork is a growing custom cabinetry and millwork company specializing in high-end residential and commercial spaces. We design, build, and install custom kitchens, bathrooms, built-ins, and architectural millwork tailored to each project.

We are a small, team-oriented business that values professionalism, creativity, initiative, and people who are eager to learn and grow alongside the company.

We are looking for a motivated Marketing Assistant to join our team. This role is ideal for a post-secondary marketing student who wants hands-on experience building a real brand and contributing to meaningful business growth.

Position Overview

This is a marketing-focused role for a student who is interested in content creation, social media strategy, brand development, lead generation, and digital marketing.

You will help tell the story behind our projects, showcase the quality of our work, strengthen our online presence, and contribute ideas that help connect Blue Ribbon Millwork with future homeowners, builders, designers, and commercial clients.
