This evolving venture is seeking a skilled Automotive Upholsterer to help drive its expansion and deliver interiors of exceptional quality for an exclusive, discerning clientele.

The Opportunity:

This is far from a standard upholstery position.

• Upholstering and retrimming interiors — including seats, panels, headliners, and dashboards — using high‑end materials.
• Creating bespoke interior features to meet precise client specifications.
• Working closely with design and build teams to ensure seamless finishes.
• Maintaining exceptional standards of detail, presentation, and craftsmanship.
• Managing multiple projects while meeting deadlines and quality expectations.

Candidate Profile:

• Proven experience as an automotive upholsterer, ideally within prestige, sports, luxury, or bespoke environments.
• Skilled in working with leather, Alcantara, and other premium materials.
• Exceptional attention to detail with a commitment to producing flawless work.
• A blend of creative flair and technical capability.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• We also welcome applicants with specialist upholstery backgrounds in aviation, marine, or luxury furniture, where precision and quality are essential.

What's On Offer:

• The opportunity to showcase your craftsmanship across a broad spectrum of admired prestige and performance vehicles.
• A supportive, creative working environment where your skills take centre stage.
• A competitive salary package tailored to experience.
• Genuine career development opportunities within a rapidly growing specialist division.

This is a rare chance to apply your craft to some of the most desirable prestige and sports vehicles on the market.
