About Klassen

Klassen Cabinetry has been building custom cabinets and millwork in Winnipeg since 1979. We’re a small, hands-on shop working with homeowners, general contractors, and interior designers. Our work is frameless, CNC-driven, and detail-oriented, and we use contemporary tools and automation to run a tighter, faster operation. We work side by side with our sister construction company, a Winnipeg residential renovation and custom home builder.

The Role

You’ll be the right hand to our Sales & General Manager, turning approved designs into accurate shop drawings and keeping projects moving from sale to install. You’ll work closely with our sales lead and shop team, and you’ll be a key link between clients, trades, and the shop floor. This is a role for someone who is highly tech savvy and eager to use AI tools and software integrations to work smarter.

This position is also a path to a broader role. As you grow, you’ll have the opportunity to move into a shared role across Klassen and our sister construction company, supporting general contracting and construction project coordination on renovations and custom builds.

Schedule

Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, 40 hours per week, in office.

What You’ll Do

- Create and revise shop drawings and cut lists in Mozaik from design intent, field measurements, and client selections
- Coordinate drawing review and sign-off with clients, GCs, and designers, and release approved drawings to the shop
- Support sales with layouts, take-offs, and quote preparation
- Track project schedules, material and hardware orders, and lead times
- Schedule site measures and installs, and follow up on deficiencies
- Keep clients and trades informed of project status




- Maintain project files, selections, and change orders
- Use AI tools and connected software to streamline documentation, communication, and project tracking, and help us improve our workflows
- Over time, take on coordination work for our sister construction company’s projects, such as scheduling trades, tracking selections and orders, and keeping job documentation current

What You Bring

- Highly tech savvy, quick to learn new software, and comfortable troubleshooting your own technical issues
- Hands-on comfort with AI tools (such as ChatGPT or Claude) and with connecting apps and automating routine work
- Minimum 2 years in cabinetry, millwork, architectural, or interior design, or a related technical drafting role
- Working knowledge of Mozaik or comparable cabinet design software (CabinetVision, AutoCAD, or similar), with a willingness to learn our workflow
- Solid understanding of cabinet construction, particularly frameless/European-style boxes, hardware, and sheet goods
- Interest in residential construction and renovation, and a desire to grow beyond cabinetry into general contracting
- Strong organizational skills and comfort juggling multiple active projects
- Clear, professional communication with clients, trades, and shop staff
- Attention to detail: you catch the conflict on the drawing, not on install day

Nice to Have





- Training in architectural technology, interior design, or a related field
- Experience in residential construction, renovation, or project coordination
- Experience with CNC production workflows
- Familiarity with QuickBooks, Excel, or project management software
- Experience building automations or integrations between business apps

- Room to grow as the business grows
