Job Description

Cabinet Specialist - Custom Van Builder

Sandy Vans | San Diego, CA | Full-Time

Sandy Vans is looking for a skilled Cabinet Specialist to join our production team building premium adventure vans at our San Diego headquarters. We’re looking for someone who knows their way around a woodshop, takes pride in precision, and wants more than just another cabinet-making job. This role has a clear opportunity to grow into a Cabinetry Team Lead , helping lead our team, improve our processes, and drive the development of new custom van builds.

What You'll Do

• Build, assemble, finish, and install custom cabinetry for Sandy Vans builds
• Work from drawings, measurements, templates, and build specifications
• Operate woodworking tools and equipment safely and efficiently
• Produce high-quality work with excellent fit, finish, and attention to detail
• Troubleshoot and solve challenges that come with building cabinetry inside vehicles
• Collaborate with our design, engineering, and production teams
• Help prototype new cabinetry, layouts, storage solutions, and custom features
• Maintain an organized, efficient, and safe workspace
• Help establish repeatable processes as Sandy Vans continues to scale

Where This Role Can Go

We're looking for someone who wants to grow with us.

For the right person, this position can develop into a Cabinetry Team Lead role with responsibility for:

• Leading and training other cabinet builders
• Managing cabinetry quality and production timelines
• Improving shop processes and build efficiency
• Working with leadership on new layouts and custom builds
• Turning creative ideas into production-ready solutions
• Helping establish Sandy Vans' cabinetry standards as we continue to grow

We don't just want someone who can follow a cut list. We want someone who eventually wants to help create the next one.

What We're Looking For

• Professional cabinetry, woodworking, finish carpentry, millwork, or similar experience
• Strong understanding of cabinet construction and installation
• Confidence using common woodworking tools and machinery
• Excellent measuring, cutting, assembly, and problem-solving skills
• High attention to detail and craftsmanship
• Ability to work independently and as part of a production team
• Someone dependable who takes ownership of their work
• Interest in learning new techniques and taking on greater responsibility

Bonus experience: CNC operation, CAD/CAM, custom fabrication, RV or marine cabinetry, automotive interiors, electrical/plumbing integration, prototyping, or production leadership.

Why Sandy Vans?

We're not a traditional cabinet shop. You'll be building cabinetry that becomes part of a complete adventure vehicle, integrating with electrical systems, plumbing, appliances, lighting, storage, beds, and everything else required to turn a Sprinter into a fully functioning home on wheels.

Sandy Vans has grown from a small San Diego van shop into a team designing, manufacturing, and building premium adventure vehicles and products. We're looking for craftspeople who want to help us build what's next.

If you're a cabinet maker, woodworker, or finish carpenter who wants to build interesting things and have the opportunity to lead, we'd love to meet you. Please email us: admin@sandyvans.com
