• Maintaining high standards of finish, accuracy and consistency.
• Holding daily progress meetings with the team.
• Communicating any issues affecting quality or production timescales to management.
• Supporting and mentoring team members.
• Developing, updating and implementing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
• Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, safety and quality.
• Helping to maintain a clean, organised and safe workshop environment.

What We're Looking For

This role requires someone who understands the practical side of joinery production and can combine this with strong organisational and people skills.

• Experience in bench joinery, glazing and fitting ironmongery.
• A good understanding of timber window and door manufacturing.
• Previous leadership, supervisory or team‑leading experience.
• The ability to plan, organise and manage several jobs at the same time.

• Good communication and problem‑solving skills.
• A proactive, hands‑on approach.
• The confidence to identify issues and take action to keep production on track.

What's on Offer

• Salary of £31,500 - £33,000, dependent on experience.
• 39-hour working week.
• Early finish on Fridays.
• Permanent, full‑time position.
• Supportive team environment.
• Uniform provided.
• Company events.
