Who We Are

Ellie Cabinet Company is a Calgary-based custom cabinetry and architectural millwork manufacturer, proudly working alongside our parent company, Melanson Homes & Renovations.

We specialize in designing, manufacturing, and installing high-quality custom cabinetry and millwork for residential renovations, custom homes, and unique living spaces throughout Calgary and the surrounding communities.

At Ellie, we believe exceptional cabinetry is built through a combination of craftsmanship, attention to detail, teamwork, and pride in the finished product. Our team is committed to delivering quality workmanship and an outstanding customer experience on every project.

We're passionate about what we build, and we're looking for someone who shares that passion.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced Cabinetmaker or Journeyperson Cabinetmaker to join our growing team in a full-time, permanent position.

This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled, hands-on professional who enjoys working on custom projects, takes pride in precision and quality, and wants to be part of a company that values craftsmanship.

Unlike a production-only environment, our work offers variety. From custom kitchens and vanities to built-in cabinetry and architectural millwork, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to projects from fabrication through to final installation.

The ideal candidate is organized, dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working both independently and as part of a collaborative team.

Key Responsibilities

- Manufacture and assemble high-quality custom cabinetry, millwork, and built-in furniture.
- Read, interpret, and work from detailed shop drawings, specifications, and architectural plans.
- Accurately measure, cut, machine, and assemble cabinetry components.
- Operate woodworking machinery, power tools, and hand tools safely and efficiently.
- Complete cabinetry installations and detailed finishing work at residential project sites.




- Install and adjust cabinet doors, drawers, hardware, and other cabinetry components.
- Maintain exceptional standards of workmanship, accuracy, and attention to detail.
- Identify and resolve fabrication or installation challenges with practical, effective solutions.
- Collaborate with designers, project managers, and fellow tradespeople to ensure projects are completed to specification.
- Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workshop and job site.
- Assist with material handling, deliveries, and other related shop or installation duties as required.

Qualifications & Experience

- Minimum 5 years of experience in cabinetmaking, custom millwork, or a closely related field.
- Journeyperson Cabinetmaker certification or Red Seal endorsement is preferred; candidates with strong, demonstrated experience will also be considered.
- Proven experience manufacturing and installing custom residential cabinetry.
- Strong understanding of cabinetry construction methods, materials, hardware, and finishing techniques.
- Ability to accurately interpret shop drawings and work independently from detailed specifications.
- Experience operating woodworking equipment and machinery.
- Strong problem-solving skills and an exceptional eye for detail.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively with colleagues, trades, and clients.
- Professional, dependable, organized, and committed to quality workmanship.
- Valid driver's licence and a satisfactory driver's abstract for positions involving company vehicle operation.




- Ability to safely perform the physical duties associated with cabinetmaking and installation, including handling heavy or oversized materials with appropriate assistance or equipment.

What We're Looking For

Beyond technical skills, we're looking for someone who genuinely cares about the work they produce.

Someone who takes ownership of their projects, pays attention to the finer details, and understands that quality cabinetry requires both technical ability and pride in craftsmanship.

We value individuals who bring a positive attitude to the workplace, communicate openly, support their teammates, and are always looking for ways to improve.

- Custom, high-quality projects: Work on unique residential cabinetry and millwork rather than repetitive, mass-produced products.

- Established industry connections: Work alongside Melanson Homes & Renovations on custom homes and residential renovation projects.
