You’ll be teaming up with Senior Makers to assist in manufacturing a wide variety of plywood furniture projects of all scales – from complete House of Lozi interiors to bespoke furniture items and our product and accessories range.

We’re committed to a high level of making and continuously develop our work through feedback and improvement loops; whether it’s ways to refine designs for easier making or ideas to take something to the next level for our customers, your opinion as a maker here isn’t just invited – it’s required.
Responsibilities will include:
Making high-quality plywood furniture at all scales – both bespoke and products.
Operating the table and mitre saws, power tools and hand tools - provided by the company.
Assisting with installing furniture on site, both within London and beyond as required.
Showing potential customers around the showroom and workshop.
Working with project documentation; reading and understanding technical drawings.
Maintaining equipment and spaces for a safe, efficient and inspiring working environment.
Prioritising sustainable making practices with efficient use of materials and minimal waste.
Upholding high standards of quality construction, attention to detail and finishing.
What we’re looking for:
Full time availability: Monday to Friday 8.30-5.30pm

Collaborative, enthusiastic and driven attitude
Some previous experience of making in a professional workshop

Any experience of installing residential and/or commercial projects would be a plus
