Maintenance Tech/Millwright

Maintenance Technician

9Wood is a leading North American manufacturer of custom wood ceilings. We help architects, designers, and contractors bring distinctive wood ceiling ideas to life with clarity, speed, and practical support.

The Maintenance Tech/Millwright plays a key role on our production floor by keeping the machines, equipment, and facilities safe and productive. This position is a strong fit for someone who enjoys hands-on work, solving problems in real time, and helping production teams keep things moving. You do not need a college degree, but you should be comfortable on the shop floor, physically capable, and genuinely enjoy interacting with and supporting people.

Work at 9Wood

Architects and designers often need support when specifying a custom wood ceiling. Acoustical subcontractors also need clear pricing, installation, and technical guidance. In this role, you will support both groups, working closely with our sales, estimating, engineering, customer service, and project management teams.

We are building a stronger position in our niche market through what we call Custom Made Fast. "Custom" means designers can choose from millions of possible configurations. "Fast" means we provide reliable quoting, drafting, and fabrication support so projects can move with greater confidence and less friction.
