Senior Cabinet Maker / Joiner
Location: Godalming, Surrey
Salary: £40,000 – £45,000 DOE
Job Type: Full-time, Permanent
Exclusive Vacancy – Collide Technical Recruitment
Collide Technical Recruitment is working exclusively with our client, a specialist bespoke furniture and joinery business based in Godalming, to recruit an experienced Senior Cabinet Maker / Joiner.
The client would also consider improvers looking to upscale but must have a minimum of 2 years' experience in Bench Joiner/Cabinet Making
Our client designs, manufactures and installs high-quality bespoke kitchens, wardrobes, media walls and other fitted furniture.
This is an important hire within a small, established business. You'll work directly alongside the owner and have a key role across both the manufacture and installation of their bespoke projects.
We're looking for someone senior, experienced and genuinely hands-on who can take a set of drawings and confidently manufacture the finished product to a high standard.
The Role
You'll be involved throughout the process, from manufacturing in the workshop through to fitting the finished furniture in customers' homes.
Responsibilities will include:
* Manufacturing bespoke kitchens, wardrobes, media walls and fitted furniture
* Working accurately from drawings
* Cutting, edging, machining and assembling cabinetry
* Using woodworking machinery and hand tools
* Producing high-quality bespoke joinery from start to finish
* Installing cabinetry and fitted furniture on site
* Accurately scribing cabinetry to walls, floors and ceilings
* Making adjustments on site to achieve a high-quality finished installation
* Assisting with site surveys and taking accurate measurements
* Identifying potential issues before manufacture or installation
* Working directly with clients in their homes
* Working closely alongside the owner across workshop and installation projects
What We're Looking For
This role would suit an experienced Cabinet Maker, Furniture Maker or Bespoke Joiner who is confident working independently and taking responsibility for their own work.
You'll ideally have:
* Strong experience within bespoke furniture or high-end joinery
* Experience manufacturing kitchens, wardrobes and/or fitted furniture
* Excellent cabinet making and bench joinery skills
* Strong on-site fitting and installation experience
* Good scribing skills and the ability to achieve a neat finish in properties where walls, floors and ceilings aren't perfectly square
* Ability to confidently work from drawings
* Experience using woodworking machinery and hand tools
* Good understanding of measurements and tolerances
* Excellent attention to detail
* Ability to work independently
* Professional manner when working in customers' homes
CNC experience would be useful but isn't essential. Strong cabinet making, joinery and fitting skills are the priority.
The Opportunity
This isn't a production-line cabinet making position.
You'll be working on bespoke, high-quality projects and will have involvement from the workshop stage right through to final installation.
It's a particularly good opportunity for an experienced Cabinet Maker / Joiner who enjoys variety, takes pride in the quality of their work and wants to become an important part of a smaller bespoke joinery business.
Salary
£40,000 – £45,000 per annum, depending on experience.
Permanent, full-time position based in Godalming, Surrey, with travel to customer sites for installations
