Role and Responsibilities We are currently seeking an experienced technical joinery designer/CAD technician to join our design office on a full‑time, permanent basis. Working as part of a close‑knit team, you will translate initial client briefs into high‑quality, well‑considered, detailed technical drawings for client approval and subsequent manufacture. You will take ownership of all design‑related aspects of a project and contribute to the development of the design office’s systems and working methods. We are looking for a proactive and highly motivated individual with a deep and extensive knowledge of bespoke joinery construction and manufacture, combined with the ability to communicate effectively and confidently with clients, sub‑contractors and our in‑house production and project‑management teams. The high‑end bespoke nature of our work ensures you will play a key role in helping to deliver exceptional joinery packages, no two of which are ever the same. Key Responsibilities Translate client briefs into detailed, accurate technical drawings. Own all design‑related aspects of each project. Collaborate with clients, sub‑contractors, and production teams to refine designs. Contribute to the development of design office systems and working methods. Occasionally travel for site visits and client meetings (predominantly London‑based). Qualifications 5+ years experience using AutoCAD, SolidWorks/Inventor or similar CAD software within a professional furniture, cabinetry or specialist joinery environment. Extensive knowledge of furniture and joinery construction and manufacturing processes, ideally including metalwork, stone, glass, solid surface and upholstery. Positive, tenacious attitude, strong work ethic, excellent problem‑solving skills and willingness to learn and develop. Experience designing for CNC manufacture would be advantageous. Ability to work collaboratively as part of a team. Strong time‑management skills and ability to prioritise tasks in a fast‑paced, fluid environment. Details The role will be largely office‑based at our Berkhamsted manufacturing facility, but the successful candidate must be willing to occasionally travel for site visits and client meetings when required. Competitive salary, dependent on skill‑set and experience. Please email current CV and a covering letter to vacancies@mbdltd.com.
