Our collection features a wide variety of table designs, benches, bookcases, beds, bunk beds, and other custom pieces. We also supply the hospitality and retail industries with custom-made shop fittings and long-lasting commercial furniture.

Position: Assistant Furniture Maker

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. Enthusiasm to learn and develop your skills is more important than professional experience in furniture making or cabinetry, but you should be comfortable using a variety of hand tools and smaller woodworking machines. A positive, upbeat, and reliable personality is a must!

Key Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with co-workers and the production manager to ensure smooth workflow and communication.
  • Assist in the production of furniture at all stages, including cutting, assembly, sanding, and finishing.
  • Conduct quality control checks to ensure each piece meets our high standards.
  • Maintain a clean and orderly working environment.
  • 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.

If you’re passionate about furniture making and eager to grow with a company that values sustainability and craftsmanship, we’d love to hear from you!
