Summary
Abbey are seeking a full-time Commercial Furniture Fitter to join our reputable and thriving business. This is a hands-on role requiring proven experience in fitting and installing commercial furniture. You will be working across a diverse range of projects, ensuring installations are carried out safely, accurately and to the highest professional standard.
This is a physically demanding and varied role — not a typical 9–5. You must be flexible for early starts, late finishes, overnight stays and occasional weekend work.
• Delivery, assembly and installation of furniture to commercial premises including offices, schools, restaurants and bars.
• Assist in loading delivery vehicles at our Cheltenham warehouse and ensure all equipment is present for installation.
• Travel to projects across the UK and safely deliver, assemble and set-out furniture.
• Read and interpret construction drawings to aid in the assembly of bespoke items.
• Follow site plans and furniture schedules to ensure accurate placement and installation.
• Communicate and collaborate effectively with colleagues and clients to ensure a smooth installation process.
• Act as senior point of contact on-site, coordinating tasks and supervising junior fitters.
• Demonstrate a flexible working attitude; early starts and late finishes are often required, sometimes with overnight stays and weekend work.
• Maintain a professional appearance and attitude at all times.
• Conduct quality checks and snagging to ensure all installations meet company and client standards.
• Ensure all work is carried out safely and complies with health and safety regulations.
We are ideally looking for someone with some experience working as a furniture fitter and with some knowledge of furniture assembly and construction of workplace furniture. We would consider taking on a trainee to learn the skills needed - but a key factor will be a willingness and enthusiasm to learn the role and the ability to work well alongside others and as part of a team.
The successful candidate will be highly motivated with a keen eye for detail, as you will be expected to respond promptly to issues which may arise onsite with a positive attitude, keeping the client and colleagues informed as appropriate.
The candidate must be flexible to work outside of normal office hours as travel throughout the UK, early starts, late finishes and weekend work are often required. A full UK driving licence is required for this role, with your own transport to get to our warehouse.
