About the Role
We are looking for dependable, detail-driven individuals to join our field installation team as In-Field Closet Installers. In this role, you will travel to customer homes and job sites to measure, assemble, and install custom closet and storage systems with precision and professionalism. No prior installation experience is required — we provide full training from day one.
This position operates under the principles of the Toyota Production System (TPS). Whether you are in the warehouse prepping components or in a customer's home installing a system, you will apply lean thinking to eliminate waste, maintain quality at every step, and continuously improve how we work. You are not just an installer — you are a key part of a team that takes pride in delivering a flawless product every time.
What You Will Do
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:
- Travel to customer homes and job sites to perform closet and storage system installations
- Read and interpret installation drawings, cut sheets, and work orders accurately
- Measure, cut, and assemble closet components including shelving, hanging rods, drawers, and accessories
- Mount wall anchors, cleats, and hardware to various wall types (drywall, concrete, tile, plaster)
- Ensure all installations are level, plumb, and square to the highest quality standards
- Perform a final quality walk-through with the customer before leaving each job site
- Identify and immediately report any product defects, damage, or installation issues (Jidoka)
- Maintain a clean, organized, and professional job site throughout installation
- Load, unload, and inventory materials for each job — following standardized kit preparation
- Complete daily job logs, checklists, and customer sign-off documentation
- Participate in team huddles and Kaizen activities to improve installation processes
- Care for and maintain all company tools, vehicle, and equipment
The Toyota Production System — Our Way of Working
We bring lean thinking out of the factory and into the field. Every installer on our team is trained in TPS principles because we believe the best work happens when people understand not just what to do, but why it matters.
TPS Principle
What It Means in the Field
Kaizen
You are on the front line — your daily experience drives our best improvements. Your ideas are always welcome and acted on.
Jidoka
Build quality in at the customer's home. If something isn't right, stop and fix it before moving on — never pass a defect forward.
Standard Work
Every installation follows a proven, documented process. Consistency is what earns customer trust and 5-star reviews.
Just-In-Time
Jobs are kitted and prepared in advance so you arrive at every site with exactly what you need — no wasted trips, no delays.
Respect for People
We invest in your skills, listen to your feedback, and build careers — not just crews.
