This is a hands-on role within a small workshop team (2–3 people), combined with responsibility for helping organise, manage and grow the manufacturing side of the business.

  • Working from technical drawings, job sheets and cutting lists.

  • Operating woodworking machinery (panel saw, edge bander, routers, etc.).

  • Assembly of cabinets and fitted furniture components.

  • Ensuring all work meets required quality standards before installation.

Factory / Workshop Management

  • Overseeing a small team of 2–3 staff within the factory.

  • Maintaining a clean, safe and efficient working environment.

  • Monitoring stock levels and materials.

Deliveries & Site Support

  • Assisting with loading and unloading of completed furniture.

  • Carrying out deliveries to customer sites when required.

  • Ensuring items arrive on site in good condition and ready for installation.

  • Occasionally supporting installation teams on site where needed.

Growth & Development

  • Working closely with the business owner to improve and expand the manufacturing side of the company.

  • Helping introduce better organisation, structure and efficiency.

  • Supporting the long-term goal of growing in-house production.

The Ideal Candidate

  • Experienced bench joiner / cabinet maker.

  • Able to work independently and take responsibility.

  • Organised and capable of managing multiple projects.

  • Strong attention to detail and pride in workmanship.

  • Positive attitude and ability to lead by example.

Essential Requirements

  • Good understanding of cabinet construction methods.

  • Confident using workshop machinery.

Desirable

  • Previous supervisory or workshop management experience.

  • Experience within kitchen or fitted furniture manufacturing.

  • Be involved in growing a manufacturing operation.

  • Play an important role in the future direction of the business.
