Role Overview
We are seeking an energetic, dedicated, flexible, and reliable Assistant Furniture Maker who takes pride in the quality of their work. You’ll be keen to communicate with management and co-workers to maintain and improve the environment you’re working in.

• Learn to operate CNC machines and other modern tools in our light-filled manufacturing facility.

What We Offer

• A full-time position in a supportive, family-oriented workplace.
• Opportunities for skill development and career growth.
• The chance to contribute to a company dedicated to sustainability and high-quality craftsmanship.
• A collaborative team environment where your input and ideas are valued.
