  • Measuring, cutting, and fitting high-quality fabrics and foam

  • Working with a variety of tools and materials

  • Reading design briefs and bringing them to life with precision

  • Collaborating with a small, supportive team to meet project deadlines


What We're Looking For:

  • Ideally, experience in manufacturing, upholstery, or assembly

  • Good attention to detail and a willingness to learn

  • A positive, can-do attitude and the ability to work well in a team

  • Strong practical skills and confidence using hand tools

  • Reliability and pride in producing quality work


What We Offer:

  • Full training from skilled upholsterers

  • A friendly, close-knit working environment

  • The chance to work on unique, design-led projects for well-known venues

  • Opportunities to grow and develop your skills in the trade

  • Job security in a growing and respected family business
