Furniture Designer

Our client is an award-winning, growing company with craft at the core of their designs. Each kitchen is hand-made to order using traditional joinery techniques and the finest materials, ensuring it is built to last a lifetime.

They have created a new role with the potential for the position to develop into so much more for the right person. The role has a lot more involvement in the finer details of furniture manufacture, procurement and installation than the typical kitchen technical designer would be exposed to.

Your work will involve:

• Using AutoCAD for technical drawings and design work
• Facilitating the development of sign-off, setting out, procurement and production of furniture, including cabinetry, metal elements, stone elements and other custom materials and features
• Mechanical and electrical drawings and installation drawings to aid site trades
• Liaising with the design team and project managers
• Working with private clients, architects, developers and interior designers
• Occasional travel mostly to the showroom / studio in London and often to project sites, in order to attend meetings and to carry out site surveys and checks

Skills and Experience needed for the Furniture Designer:

• A good understanding of high-end custom furniture
• Minimum of 3 years' relevant work experience
• Fluent in 2D AutoCAD
• Experience in 3D work and 3D visualisation is a bonus but not essential
• A proactive person with a 'self-starter' attitude and strong time-management skills
• Own car and Driving Licence

Salary on offer will be between 28k and 35k plus pension.
