Woodworker - 1st Shift

Hood Container is seeking a qualified woodworker to join our team. Woodworkers make products from lumber and synthetic wood materials. Modern woodworking is highly technical. Skilled operators use automated machinery to ensure accuracy in all phases of their work. Woodworkers do many of their tasks on an assembly line, but some customized work must be done by hand.

Woodworkers set up, operate, and tend all types of woodworking machines, such as saws, milling machines, drill presses, sanders, and wood-fastening machines. Operators use equipment to cut and shape wooden parts and to verify dimensions, using a template, caliper, and rule. Woodworkers add fasteners and adhesives and connect the parts to form an assembled unit. Finally, workers sand, stain, and, if necessary, coat the wood product with a sealer or topcoats, such as lacquer or varnish.
