We manufacture tables for the contract market (restaurants and hotels) using hardwoods, laminates and veneers and our tables can be found in many well known chains across the UK and abroad.
This full time, unique and varied role involves bench joinery, material purchasing and CAD drawing.
We expect the purchasing aspect to take approximately 15 hours per week and it involves reading the Job Sheets that are due to run through the factory, creating a 'shopping list' of materials, then ordering those materials from set suppliers. Some liaising with suppliers is necessary on lead times, their stock levels and their delivery dates to ensure they arrive with us in time for our production schedule.
The remaining 25 hours per week would involve creating CAD drawings (using Sketch Up or similar) of our table frames and bases as well as cutting lists to be used by our joiners in the workshop and also for approval by our customers. As well as CAD drawing the role would involve some hands-on bench joinery to fill the remaining hours.
The successful candidate will be conscientious, organised and have good negotiating skills. A friendly and professional manner is crucial as the role involves liaising with key suppliers on a regular basis.
Previous purchasing experience would be an advantage and training will be given on the specific needs of our business. Previous CAD drawing and bench joinery experience are necessary.
We offer competitive rates of pay, 25 days holiday per year (full time, pro rated for part time) plus bank holidays and run a monthly and quarterly profit-share bonus scheme for all employees. A pay rise is given every April.
