Experienced Furniture Maker
You’re the furniture maker colleagues come to with a tricky detail. On a technical drawing you see not just how a piece goes together, but how it could be smarter, stronger or better-looking.
What you'll make
As an experienced furniture maker you take on the complex and prestigious parts, from drawing to end product. You’re responsible for the quality of your part of the project and the technical go-to person for your colleagues. Your work includes:
- Making complex bespoke furniture and prestigious interior components, from drawing to end product
- Preparing your own work: sequence, materials and supplies
- Guiding less experienced colleagues and apprentices, and passing on the craft
- Thinking along with engineering about buildability, before a drawing reaches the workshop
- 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 looking for an experienced craftsperson who delivers the highest standard of finish, and likes to share what they know.
- You have at least seven years of relevant experience as a furniture maker or interior builder
- You have experience with complex, prestigious bespoke projects
- You enjoy guiding colleagues and passing on your knowledge
- 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
- You take responsibility for your own work
- Your Dutch is good enough to understand drawings and work instructions
Vocational training is an advantage, but proven craftsmanship matters more to us than the right diploma.
What you get from us
- A salary of €3,500 to €4,500 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
- Good workwear, safety shoes and professional tools
- A well-equipped joinery workshop with a professional machine park
- Varied bespoke projects instead of the same product every day
