Furniture Maker
You look at a technical drawing and already see how a piece of furniture will go together. With your craftsmanship, you turn loose materials into a bespoke interior that is right to the millimetre.
What you'll make
As a furniture maker, you work independently from technical drawings. You keep an eye on dimensions, choose the right way of working and make sure every part is finished neatly and on schedule. Your work includes:
- Making and assembling bespoke furniture and interior components
- Reading, assessing and applying technical drawings
- Sawing, milling, drilling, gluing, sanding and finishing
- Working with sheet material, solid wood, fittings and other materials
- Adjusting and fitting hinges, locks and hardware
- Working with a range of woodworking machines
- Checking dimensions, quality and finish
- Spotting and solving technical issues
- Coordinating with engineering, work planning and the machining department
- Thinking along about smarter production methods and practical improvements
You work mainly in our well-equipped joinery workshop, with professional tools, an extensive machine park and experienced colleagues around you.
What you bring
We're not looking for a candidate who ticks boxes, but for a craftsperson who independently makes a quality end product.
- You have at least three years of relevant experience as a furniture maker or interior builder
- You work independently from a technical drawing
- You know your materials, fittings and joining techniques
- You handle woodworking machines safely and skilfully
- You work precisely and have an eye for detail
- You have a positive attitude and a solution-focused approach

What you get from us
- A salary of €2,800 to €3,900 gross per month for a full-time position, based on your seniority
- A position of 32 to 40 hours a week
- We're looking for someone for the long term: if it works out on both sides, we'll quickly offer you the security of a permanent contract
- Room to grow into other roles or departments within Hemlock
- Terms of employment under the applicable collective agreement for interior construction and the furniture industry
- 24 days of holiday plus scheduled days off to suit your working week
- Holiday pay, pension and travel allowance
