Senior Architectural Millwork Engineer
AlphaX, West Palm Beach, FL, United States
Before a single board is cut, every detail must be resolved. That principle is at the heart of how our client operates – a nationally recognized luxury millwork firm with over 30 years of experience transforming interiors for the most exclusive residences in the country. Their engineering and drafting team is the backbone of a process that leaves nothing to chance, producing meticulous shop drawings that serve as the road maps for master craftspeople, finishers, and installation teams. They are looking for a Senior Architectural Millwork Engineer who can lead that process – someone who combines deep technical expertise in custom millwork and cabinetry with the leadership presence to mentor a drafting team and the judgment to ensure every drawing that leaves the department is ready for the shop floor.
What You’ll Own
Produce and oversee detailed shop drawings for custom cabinetry, architectural millwork, and fine furniture – communicating field conditions, fabrication details, material and finish selections, hardware schedules, and integrated components
Lead, mentor, and review the work of the drafting team, providing redlines, quality assurance feedback, and technical guidance that elevates the team's output
Coordinate with project management, shop production, and field installation teams to maintain schedules and ensure constructability at every phase
Generate accurate material and parts lists to support procurement and fabrication planning
Conduct shop inspections to verify that work in progress aligns with approved drawings and design intent
Maintain and update as-built drawings throughout the project lifecycle
Partner with project managers and designers to resolve scope, design, and detailing questions before they reach the shop floor
Ensure all drawings reflect integrated hardware, appliance, and specialty material coordination
Requirements
Deep, hands‑on expertise in custom millwork, cabinetry, joinery, and materials – developed in luxury residential environments; candidates without high‑end residential millwork experience will not be considered
Proven experience leading or mentoring a drafting or engineering team, with the ability to set standards, provide constructive redline feedback, and develop others
Mastery of shop drawing production for complex architectural millwork and custom cabinetry scopes
Strong knowledge of integrated hardware systems, appliance coordination, and specialty materials including glass, metal, stone, and acrylic
Proficiency with AutoCAD or equivalent drafting platforms
Exceptional organizational skills and a detail‑oriented mindset – you build drawings that eliminate ambiguity, not create it
Professional communication style appropriate for coordination across design, production, and client‑facing teams
Relocation to or residency in the West Palm Beach area required
Benefits
Paid time off and company holidays
A clear path for professional growth and advancement within a nationally recognized firm
A stable pipeline of prestigious luxury residential projects with some of the country's most discerning builders and designers
A collaborative, deeply craft‑driven culture where engineering is treated as art, not just documentation
