About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Build Kitchens That People Actually Want to Cook In
There's a certain kind of pride that comes from running your hand along a cabinet edge you just fitted and knowing it's flawless. If you know that feeling — or want to — keep reading. We're a designer decoration company expanding our kitchen division, and we're looking for Wood & Aluminum Kitchen Carpenters/Technicians and Technical Assistants to join our specialized team. This isn't a role where you'll be churning out the same flat-pack units day after day; you'll be crafting and installing kitchens and interior works where the details genuinely matter.
About Us
We're a designer decoration company that treats kitchens as the heart of the home — not just another job site. Our workshop hums with the sound of saws and the smell of fresh-cut timber, and our install teams are the ones who bring those designs to life on site. We're at that exciting stage where the work keeps coming in and the team keeps growing, but we've held onto the thing that got us here: craftsmanship over shortcuts. If you take pride in what you build, you'll fit right in.
What You'll Be Doing
- Manufacture and assemble wood and aluminum kitchen units, from carcasses and doors to drawers and fittings
- Read and work from technical drawings, cutting lists, and design plans — and flag anything that doesn't add up before it becomes a problem
- Install kitchens on site, ensuring everything sits level, aligns cleanly, and closes with that satisfying, precise click
- Deliver high-quality finishing — sanding, edging, sealing, and the small touches that separate good work from great work
- Handle aluminum framing, profiles, and glass integration where the design calls for it
- Support interior decoration works beyond the kitchen when the project needs an extra pair of skilled hands
- Keep your workspace safe, tidy, and organized — because good work rarely comes out of chaos
- Collaborate with designers, site supervisors, and fellow technicians to get the details right the first time
What You'll Bring
Must-Haves
- Solid hands-on experience in wood and/or aluminum kitchen manufacturing and installation
- Excellent workmanship with a genuine eye for high-quality finishing
- An aesthetic sense — you notice when a handle is 3mm off, and it bothers you
- Ability to read technical drawings and translate them into real, working installations
- Reliability, teamwork, and a willingness to communicate when something needs sorting
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience with interior decoration works beyond kitchens
- Familiarity with modern kitchen hardware, fittings, and aluminum systems
- A valid driver's license or ability to travel between workshop and site
Not sure you tick every box? We'd still love to hear from you — skill can be taught, but care and craftsmanship come from within.
Why You'll Love Working Here
- Real projects, real craft — you'll build kitchens and interiors that people actually live in and love
- A team that respects your trade — no micromanaging, no cutting corners on quality just to hit a deadline
- Room to grow — as we expand, so do the opportunities for technicians who want to step up
- Variety in your week — some days in the workshop, some days on site, never the same two days in a row
- Competitive pay that reflects your experience and skill
- A workplace where your input matters — if you see a better way to do something, we want to hear it
At the end of the day, we're looking for people who care about the work as much as we do. If you've got the hands, the eye, and the attitude, you'll find a home here.
Common Interview Questions and Tips
To help you prepare and feel confident, here are some questions you might encounter during the interview process for this role.
- Walk me through your process for building a kitchen cabinet carcass from a technical drawing — where do you start, and what are the checkpoints before you move on to the next stage?
- You're on site installing a run of base units and discover the wall is out of plumb by about 15mm over the length. How do you handle it without compromising the finish or the alignment of the doors?
- What's your approach to aluminum framing and glass integration? Can you describe a project where you had to marry aluminum profiles with wood components and how you ensured a clean fit?
- Tell me about your experience with modern kitchen hardware — soft-close runners, lift systems, concealed hinges. Which systems do you prefer working with and why?
- How do you handle finishing work like edging and sealing so that the final result holds up over time, not just on handover day?
- A cutting list comes through and something doesn't add up — a dimension conflicts with the design plan. What do you do, and who do you talk to?
- Describe a time when you caught a mistake that others had missed. What was the situation, and how did you handle it?
- Tell me about a project where you had to coordinate closely with designers or site supervisors to get a detail right. How did you keep communication clear?
- You're under pressure to hit a deadline, but you know rushing a particular step will compromise quality. How do you navigate that conversation?
- Have you ever had to work on interior decoration tasks outside your usual kitchen scope? How did you approach the unfamiliar work?
- What does a well-organized workspace look like to you, and how do you keep yours that way when you're mid-project?
- This role splits time between the workshop and site — sometimes with travel in between. How do you manage that variety, and what keeps you productive in both environments?
- When you run your hand along a finished cabinet edge, what tells you it's right? What
