Start Your Career: Where Pride in Craftsmanship Meets Ownership in Architectural Millwork

For more than 45 years, Wilkie Sanderson has built more than just custom millwork—they’ve built a reputation. Known across Central Minnesota and beyond for their craftsmanship, this 100% employee-owned company has produced high-end architectural millwork, cabinetry, solid surface, and casework that you’ll find in places like Churchill Downs, Essentia Health’s Vision Northland project in Duluth, and Capital One Hall in Tysons, Virginia.

At the heart of it all? A team of about 80 skilled craftspeople at their Sauk Rapids facility—and a growing number of remote team members who help keep operations running smoothly behind the scenes. Whether on the shop floor or behind a screen, Wilkie’s employees share a sense of pride and ownership in what they create together.

Wilkie isn’t just looking for more workers—they’re looking for more people who want to belong to something bigger. The team values folks who:

• Take initiative and are always looking to improve
• Keep a positive attitude and work well with others
• Aim to meet company goals and contribute to something bigger

What sets Wilkie Sanderson apart—beyond the quality of the work—is what they offer back to their employees. One of the biggest standout benefits? A 100% employer-funded retirement plan through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Each year, Wilkie contributes 5–25% of employees' annual pay in profit-sharing, on top of their regular wages. It’s a rare benefit, and it’s one that rewards employees for being invested in the company’s success.

Other benefits include:

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• HSA with company contribution
• 401(k)
• Company-paid Nice Healthcare access
• Life insurance for employees, spouses, and children
• And more!

Wilkie also gives back through company service projects and hosts regular team events —adding to the sense of pride and community that’s been built over decades.

Open Roles Include:

• Shipping Associate ($18-26/hr): Packages, loads, and delivers millwork products safely and accurately. 
• Custom Fabricator ($20–32/hr): Build high-end cabinetry and millwork with wood, laminate, and veneer.
• Solid Surface Fabricator ($18–30/hr): Work with solid surface materials to bring commercial millwork designs to life.
