About Us

At Daniel James Group, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional craftsmanship across a diverse portfolio of high-end residential and commercial projects. From bespoke architectural joinery to intricate interior fit-outs, our commitment to quality, precision, and design excellence sets us apart. We are currently looking for a hands-on, experienced Workshop Manager / Bench Joiner to lead our talented team at our workshop in Wythenshawe, Manchester.

The Role

This is a dual-focus role combining technical bench joinery expertise with workshop leadership. You will be responsible for overseeing day-to-day workshop operations, ensuring that projects are manufactured to the highest standards, on time, and within specification. Working closely with our CAD Designer and our skilled team of bench joiners, you will bridge the gap between initial design concepts and flawless physical execution.

Workshop Management:

Oversee daily operations of the workshop, ensuring a safe, clean, and efficient working environment.
Manage workflow and production schedules in alignment with project deadlines.
Coordinate closely with the CAD Designer to review drawings, resolve technical details, and optimize manufacturing methods.
Lead, mentor, and support the team of bench joiners, fostering a culture of high craftsmanship and teamwork.
Quality control: Inspect finished pieces to ensure they meet Daniel James Group’s exacting standards before they leave the workshop.

Oversee material ordering, stock control, and equipment maintenance.

Bench Joinery:

Hands-on manufacturing of bespoke joinery items for high-end residential and commercial projects (e.g., custom cabinetry, architectural woodwork, wall panelling, doors, and reception desks).
Interpret complex technical drawings and CAD designs accurately.
Operate a variety of standard workshop machinery and hand tools safely and proficiently.

Requirements

Proven experience working as a Bench Joiner, ideally with a strong background in high-end residential and/or commercial projects.
Previous experience in a supervisory, team lead, or Workshop Manager role is essential.
Excellent ability to read and interpret detailed CAD drawings and technical specifications.
Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to motivate a team and manage production timelines.
High attention to detail and a passion for premium craftsmanship.
Sound knowledge of Health & Safety regulations within a woodworking workshop environment.
Relevant qualifications in Joinery / Carpentry (NVQ Level 3 or equivalent) are preferred.

What We Offer

Competitive salary of £35,000 – £40,000 (dependent on experience).
The opportunity to work on prestigious, high-end architectural and interior projects.
A supportive, collaborative working environment within a growing company based in Manchester.

How to Apply

If you are an experienced bench joiner with a passion for leadership and top-tier craftsmanship, we would love to hear from you.
