What We’re Looking For

This role is equal parts technical and collaborative. The ideal candidate is a maker – someone who has worked with their hands, understands how things are actually built, and brings that fabrication intelligence to everything they draw.

• Technically proficient in AutoCAD (2D and 3D) with experience producing manufacturing and installation drawings
• Understands modern furniture and joinery construction techniques from the inside out
• Detail-oriented in a way that matters- asking “How am I going to build this?” before finalizing any detail
• A proactive communicator who keeps teams aligned without being prompted
• Collaborative by nature, with the ability to work fluidly across design, production, and site teams

Technical Drawing & Documentation

• Create technical production drawings, manufacturing drawings, and installation drawings for luxury bespoke kitchen and joinery projects

Project Coordination

• Support the Project Manager across the full project lifecycle, from kick-off through installation close-out
• Manage project timelines and track drawing deliverables against production schedules
• Liaise directly with our European production and manufacturing facilities to develop and resolve technical details
• Coordinate with the on-site installation team to ensure smooth execution from delivery through final fit

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Maintain active communication with multiple internal departments throughout the project lifespan
• Contribute proactively to problem-solving across design, production, and installation phases

Skills, Experience & Expertise

• Hands-on workshop or bench joinery experience – required. Candidates without direct fabrication experience will not be considered.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD 2D and 3D – required; must be able to produce construction-ready drawings independently
• Experience in luxury furniture, custom cabinetry, bespoke joinery, or high-end interior fit-out
• Strong understanding of material properties, furniture construction methods, and manufacturing processes
• Experience with project planning and timeline management
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills – able to coordinate clearly across time zones and disciplines
• Sharp attention to detail and a proactive approach to identifying and resolving issues before they escalate
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States
