W3Global Inc. is hiring: Cabinet Designer in North Charleston

About client:

We have served the Lowcountry for 20 years with the ability to design, engineer, manufacture, deliver, and install custom cabinetry in residential homes and condos. Our cabinets are not semi-custom or stock cabinets. Instead, our team provides cabinetry in any width or depth required for the application in increments of 32mm. We offer hundreds of door styles and configurations, as well as thousands of finish combinations. We produce fine European-style cabinetry that balances form and function. Our showroom and manufacturing facility is in N. Charleston, and our clients are invited to tour the facility where their cabinets are produced by skilled team members utilizing the latest technology in software and equipment.

We are a cabinetry manufacturer and our design work is very technical. Our designers execute drawings for not only the client, but for a production environment.
