About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever imagined seeing a piece of furniture you helped create leave the shop floor and become the centerpiece in someone’s home, office, or hotel? At BSD Richy Furniture Manufacturing LLC, we’re looking for detail-loving, hands-on Furniture Carpenters who take pride in their work—someone who can turn a plank of MDF into something extraordinary. If you know the difference between decent craftsmanship and remarkable quality, you just might be who we’re searching for. And since demand is climbing, we’re ready to get the right people on board…fast.
About BSD Richy Furniture Manufacturing LLC
We’re not just another furniture factory in Umm Al Quwain—we’re a team of makers who thrive on transforming bold designs into real-world creations. Our floor bustles with carefully orchestrated teamwork and the occasional shared joke over morning karak. Some of us are sticklers for clean edges, others obsess over assembly details, but we all believe good furniture makes people's lives better. We’re proud of our reputation for custom kitchens, wardrobes, and specialty pieces, and we never say “good enough” when perfection is within reach. If you like rolling up your sleeves and getting things done, you’ll fit right in.

- Operate woodworking machinery and hand tools with a focus on safety and quality.
- Craft and install custom furniture units: wardrobes, kitchen sets, retail displays, and more.
- Check measurements, edges, and finishes to guarantee consistency before each piece goes out.
