- Maintaining strict drawing standards and document control while driving continuous improvement within the design department
Experiences required
- Minimum of 3 years of dedicated experience within the bespoke joinery, furniture manufacturing, or cabinet-making industry
- Professional, fluent experience using SolidWorks is essential. Familiarity with SWOOD is a massive advantage
- A strong, practical understanding of bespoke joinery construction, workshop production methods, and materials (MDF, MFC, veneered boards, plywood, laminates, solid timber, and hardware)
