Haverhill, Suffolk
£28,000 to £33,000
Full-time, Permanent
40 hours per week
Monday to Friday, 7:30am - 4:00pm
Regular overtime available

If you take pride in producing something properly, enjoy practical hands-on work and like seeing a finished product come together from start to finish, this could be a very good fit.

Crem Recruitment is working with an established bespoke furniture manufacturer in Haverhill that produces high-quality furniture for commercial environments, including automotive showrooms.

We are looking for an experienced Bench Joiner to join their production team and help manufacture bespoke furniture to a consistently high standard.

This is a workshop-based role where you’ll take CNC-machined components and assemble them into finished pieces of furniture using hand and power tools.

The work is varied, detailed and quality-focused. You won’t simply be producing the same item repeatedly. You’ll be working across bespoke projects where accuracy, finish and attention to detail really matter.

The role

As a Bench Joiner, you’ll be responsible for assembling bespoke furniture from technical drawings and plans, making sure every finished piece is accurate, well-built and ready for installation.

Your responsibilities will include:

Assembling bespoke furniture from CNC-machined components

Reading and interpreting technical drawings and plans

Using hand and power tools to complete furniture assemblies

Producing accurate, high-quality work to agreed deadlines

Checking work throughout the manufacturing process

Inspecting finished furniture for defects before installation

Identifying and resolving practical assembly issues

Working independently while supporting the wider production team

Maintaining high standards of workmanship and attention to detail

Contributing to continuous improvement within the workshop

What are we looking for?

You’ll need previous experience within joinery or furniture bench assembly and be comfortable working from drawings and plans.

You could currently be working as a Bench Joiner, Cabinet Maker, Furniture Maker, Furniture Assembler or in a similar furniture manufacturing environment.

We’re looking for someone who has:

Previous joinery or furniture bench assembly experience

The ability to accurately read and follow drawings and plans

Experience using hand and power tools

Strong attention to detail

Good practical problem-solving skills

Pride in producing high-quality finished work

The ability to work independently and as part of a team

A proactive and reliable approach

A willingness to contribute to a positive workshop environment

The role is physically active, so you’ll also need to be comfortable lifting and handling furniture components as part of your day-to-day work.

What’s on offer?

Salary of £28,000 to £33,000

Permanent, full-time position

40-hour working week

Monday to Friday, 7:30am - 4:00pm

Regular overtime opportunities

28 days' holiday

An additional 2 days' holiday accrued through long service

Free onsite parking

Free refreshments

Varied bespoke furniture projects

The opportunity to join an established manufacturing business with a strong focus on quality

If you’re an experienced Bench Joiner who enjoys practical, hands-on work and takes real pride in the quality of what you produce, we’d like to hear from you.
