Our commissions span private residences, contemporary projects, heritage buildings, and royal palaces, including Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace.

The Role

We are looking for a motivated college leaver to join our design department. This is an exciting entry-level opportunity where you will work closely with our experienced designers, learning how to turn creative concepts into detailed technical designs for bespoke furniture and joinery.

• An interest in furniture design, architecture, or related creative disciplines.
• A natural problem-solver with good attention to detail.
• A can-do attitude, curiosity, and willingness to learn new design software.
• Initiative and the ability to contribute ideas.

• Practical experience within the industry is a plus, but not essential.

Our Commitment

• On-the-job training in furniture design, CAD, and other specialist design programmes.
• Guidance and mentoring from our senior design team.
