Description

The purpose of this position is to coordinate and produce cabinets/fixtures for divisional retail stores, warehouses and offices. The Cabinet Maker is responsible for reading blueprints, designing and creating cut sheets for cabinet/fixture production, training new associates, executing the direction of Facility Services Production leadership and participating in cost savings activities as needed. This position is also responsible for maintaining and operating all Cabinet Shop tools and equipment.

The impact this position has on Publix carries long and short term financial and service consequences. If this position is performed well, Publix will spend the correct amount of money for timely, well-built millwork for our retail locations to execute our strategy. Furthermore, when this position is performed well our associates and customers will be protected from injury due to poorly built cabinets and millwork and our associates will have a reduced risk of injury from in-house machinery and tools. If this position is not performed well, Publix will spend too much for poor quality and possibly not have the internal workforce working towards our strategic objectives. Incorrect decisions here will have long lasting impacts to our retail operations in customer service, new store openings and project/remodel completions.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Manufacturing store and office fixtures while optimizing raw materials using equipment within the Cabinet Shop and utilizing batching techniques
• Reading blueprints, designing and creating cut sheets to generate optimal yield for cabinet/fixture production
