Bedroom Fitter​/Furniture Fitter

Chester Joinery require a semi-skilled/skilled bedroom fitter /furniture fitter to join our family‑run business. Chester Joinery was established in 2015 by Jason, who does all of the sales, manufacturing and installations by himself. Chester Joinery is now in a position to expand the company further and are looking for a semi‑skilled /skilled bedroom fitter/furniture fitter.

Your role will be to go out independently and to assist in the installation of bedrooms and fitted furniture including studies, display units, media units and bespoke fitted furniture. At times you will also be required to work in the workshop and assist in the manufacturing, although your main role will be to be out on installations.

• Have a minimum of 3 years’ installation experience in fitting bedrooms and fitted furniture independently on your own. (Your C.V should clearly highlight where you have gained your experience from).
• Preferably have some experience of working in the workshop on the panel saw and on the bench making the fitted furniture.
• Be able to read drawings and cutting lists.
• Be able to install a basic run of wardrobes independently on their own without supervision within 1 day.
• Have a high standard of workmanship with close attention to detail to ensure they are delivering high quality results.
• Punctuality, reliability and professionalism is essential.
• Have a full driving licence to go on our van insurance.
• Have access to a car as the workshop is not accessible via public transport.

Due to the job being physically demanding, you must be physically fit as the job will involve lifting heavy pieces on your own, and you will be required to meet installation deadlines.

We are advertising this position once again due to previously having several applicants be untruthful about their level of experience. Therefore, please only apply if your C.V clearly proves where you have gained your installation experience from.

Upon completion of a successful trial period, you will be employed on a permanent contract. Full time hours – Monday to Friday 8.00am to 4.30pm. Monthly pay. Wage exceeds national minimum wage rates and is dependent on experience. Typically it will start between £12.50 - £17.00 per hour as a starting rate dependant on experience, and may be subject to an increase after a successful period of time.

28 days paid holiday per year = 20 days paid holidays and all 8 bank Holidays (We do close down every December prior to Xmas Eve until after New Years Day. Although the public holidays are paid, you will be required to use 5 of your 20 days for over the festive period, leaving you with 15 paid days each year.)
