About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever worked your magic turning raw timber into something truly unique? As a Joinery Carpenter with our team in Ajman Industrial Area, you won’t just be building furniture — you’ll be crafting spaces people love to live and work in. If you take pride in precise joinery, appreciate the satisfaction of a well-finished corner, and want to see your handiwork all around the city, this could be the role for you. There’s real stability here for skilled carpenters ready to work full-time and grow with a company that values hands-on expertise.
About the Company
We’re a tight-knit crew of craftsmen, designers, and project managers who believe a workshop should feel a bit like home. Our days aren’t just about sawing and sanding — we’re constantly tinkering with new techniques, sharing tips, and taking pride in every project from bold hotel lobbies to custom kitchen cabinets. At our Ajman base, you’ll find a team that supports each other, celebrates the little wins, and isn’t afraid of a challenge. Fridays might be quieter, but don’t be surprised if someone brings in karak and a box of sweets after a successful delivery.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Construct, assemble, and finish furniture and bespoke joinery items according to detailed drawings and client specs.
- Work closely with our production and fit-out teams to guarantee quality and consistency project by project.
- Use a variety of workshop tools (saws, planers, sanders, etc.) safely and skillfully — your toolbox is your pride!
- Install cabinetry, shelving, and other custom fixtures at client sites in Ajman and occasionally across the Emirates.
- Troubleshoot snags or fit issues on-site, improvising smart solutions when things don’t quite line up.
- Maintain a tidy, safety-first workshop — everyone pitches in here.
- Mentor less-experienced teammates and share trade secrets (if you’re game).
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- At least 2 years of joinery carpentry experience right here in the UAE — you know how things get done locally.
- Proven work in furniture manufacturing and interior fit-out works (your portfolio or past project list will help here).
- Ability to read technical drawings, measure twice, cut once, and deliver a reliably high finish.
- Willingness to work full-time (overtime available) — you thrive on staying ‘hands-on’ and productive.
Nice-to-Haves:
- A friendly manner and willingness to help new team members settle in.
- Experience with unique joinery projects or specialty finishes.
- Basic communication skills in English, Arabic, or Hindi/Urdu.
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you. Skill and the right attitude count here.

- Company-provided accommodation, just a short distance from our busy workshop.
- Daily transport organized and covered by us, saving you the hassle.
- Real team spirit — support when you need it, recognition when you go the extra mile.
- Steady workflow, so you’re rarely left chasing hours or worrying about the next job.
