About the Company
At Lord Furniture Factory, we believe that great design starts with great collaboration — and maybe a cup of karak in our cozy Sharjah office. For two decades, we’ve blended craft, technology, and creativity to transform commercial and residential spaces across the UAE. Our team is a spirited bunch, with hands-on leaders and designers who celebrate weekly project wins and share Pinterest boards like they’re trading cards. Here, you’re not just a cog in the machine; your work echoes in every finished desk, partition, and bespoke lounge we deliver.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Draft detailed 2D and 3D drawings using AutoCAD for bespoke furniture and interior projects (yes, you get to shape the real look and feel).
- Collaborate daily with project managers, designers, and production teams to ensure every piece and plan hits both form and function.
- Revise, refine, and update drawings based on client feedback and evolving site requirements — adaptability is part of the fun.
- Assist in preparing clear, accurate shop drawings and joinery details for our craftsmen to follow on the shop floor.
- Participate in site visits across Sharjah and Dubai to better understand real-world conditions and bring sketches off the page.
- Balance multiple projects in a fast-moving environment, always with an eye for detail and deadlines.
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Solid hands-on experience with AutoCAD (both 2D & 3D drafting — you can toggle views with your eyes closed).
- At least 1–2 years of experience in furniture design or interior fit-out drawings.
- Strong spatial sense and a keen eye for proportion and detail.
- Good communication skills — you’re comfortable voicing design ideas and clarifying technical questions.
Nice-to-Haves:
- Previous work on joinery, carpentry, or bespoke furniture projects.
- Experience with additional design tools like SketchUp or 3ds Max.
- An organized work style that brings calm to busy timelines.
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Competitive salary, reviewed annually.
- 6-day on-site work week with occasional site visits (never a dull day).
- Creative, supportive team always willing to share insights (and lunch recommendations).
- Opportunity to see your drafts manufactured and installed — so much more than paper and pixels.
- Direct mentorship from industry veterans; your professional growth is a priority.
- Celebratory project milestones, casual office vibe, and real ownership of your work.
At Lord Furniture Factory, it’s not just about making furniture — it’s about making your mark on spaces across Sharjah and Dubai, one brilliant drawing at a time.
