About the Role
Anton Cabinetry is looking for a strong, decisive Engineering Manager to lead the transformation of our engineering and design team. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives on bringing structure, consistency, and accountability to a fast-paced commercial millwork operation.
If you are energized by fixing broken workflows, standardizing processes, elevating teams, and restoring healthy collaboration between Engineering and Production — this is the role where you will make a visible impact every single day.
We are a $30M architectural millwork firm with 50 years of history and a growing pipeline of healthcare and commercial projects. The relationship between Engineering and Production is the heartbeat of our operation. This position is central to strengthening that bridge.
What You’ll Lead
- Standardize and elevate engineering output
We need a leader who can
- Establish consistent drawing standards for both shop drawings and production drawings
- Align the team around one way of doing things
- Improve accuracy and reduce variation across engineers
- Strengthen internal review processes
- Ensure predictable, high-quality release packages to the shop
- Coach, develop, and hold engineers accountable
You will lead a team of
Project Design Managers, Engineers / Designers, and Outsourced drafters
Your leadership will
Raise expectations, build discipline, drive training consistency, and create a culture of ownership and follow-through.
- Rebuild the rhythm between Engineering & Production
This role is the bridge between upstream engineering work and downstream shop flow.
You will
- Work closely with the Director of Production
- Improve predictability of releases
- Reduce rework and late surprises
- Establish a dependable weekly schedule
- Bring clarity, communication, and stability to the process
- Lead by presence — not from behind a screen
This is an onsite leadership role.
The shop, PMs, and engineering team need a leader who is
- Visible, engaged, accessible, and in the mix with people and processes.
- A limited hybrid day for systems work is possible, but this role is fundamentally in-person.
- This role is designed for a leader who has successfully improved engineering teams before, someone who thrives in environments that need structure and momentum.
Required Qualifications
- 7–15 years of commercial millwork, casework, or store fixture engineering experience
- Strong command of shop drawings, production drawings, CNC workflows, and millwork standards
- Enough technical depth to guide and review work, without being a “heads down” drafter
- A steady, accountable, results-driven leadership presence
- The confidence and communication style to reset expectations and bring people together
- Experience building processes, not just following them
- 2–5+ years managing or leading engineering teams
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience overseeing hybrid design teams (internal, outsourced, varying experience levels)
- Working knowledge of CNC post-processors, BOM systems, or software automation
- Familiarity with AWI standards and QCP testing protocols
- Bachelor’s or Associate’s degree in Engineering , Construction Science, or related field
- Experience implementing new CAD tools, standards, or systems
