Purpose of the role

Own the build of soft seating and millwork from prototype to delivered order. Convert design drawings into accurate frames, upholstery and joinery; standardise them for repeat production; and deliver client orders on time, to spec and to QC standard.

1. Soft seating & upholstery — product development

• Read and interpret design drawings, 3D views and specs; flag buildability issues early

• Build prototypes and mock-ups: sofas, lounge chairs, dining chairs, benches, ottomans, headboards, banquettes

• Construct frames in solid wood, plywood and engineered board; set joinery (dowel, mortise-tenon, corner blocks)

• Specify and execute suspension: webbing, serpentine/zig-zag springs, pocket springs

• Select and layer foam (density, ILD), fibre, feather and wrap; achieve target sit comfort, seat height and depth

• Pattern-make, cut and fit fabric and leather; manage pattern matching, piping, tufting, channelling and welting

• Iterate prototypes with designers on comfort, proportion and detailing; record each revision

• Create build documentation for each signed-off product: cut lists, BOM, frame jigs, templates, foam specs, process sheets

• Build jigs and templates for repeatable production

• Test samples for durability, stability and finish; support material and fabric trials

• Recommend cost and process improvements without compromising design intent

2. Order fulfilment — manufacturing

• Plan and run production of confirmed orders against agreed timelines

• Break orders into work schedules; allocate tasks to carpenters, upholsterers and helpers

• Prepare material requirements per order: timber, board, foam, fabric (incl. COM/COL), hardware, consumables

• Check incoming materials for grade, moisture content, foam density and fabric defects; reject non-conforming stock

• Track daily output against plan; escalate delays, shortages and design queries

• Run in-process and final QC: dimensions, frame rigidity, seams, pattern alignment, finish, labelling

• Control wastage, especially fabric and foam yield

• Supervise packing for transit protection; coordinate dispatch and site installation

• Handle snags, repairs and warranty rework

• Keep job cards, material issue logs and QC records up to date

• Maintain tools and machines; enforce workshop safety and housekeeping

• Train and mentor junior carpenters and upholsterers

3. Millwork

• Fabricate and install custom millwork: wall panelling, cladding, storage, wardrobes, reception counters, shelving, built-in seating, doors and frames

• Read shop drawings; take site measurements and verify against drawings before cutting

• Work across solid wood, plywood, MDF, veneer, laminate and solid surface edges

• Execute precise joinery, edge banding, veneer matching and hardware fitting (hinges, channels, soft-close, locks)

• Coordinate finishing: sanding, staining, PU/lacquer, laminate and veneer finishes

• Integrate upholstered elements into millwork (banquettes, padded wall panels, headboards)

• Manage on-site installation: levelling, scribing, alignment and final fit

• Coordinate with civil, electrical and other trades on site

• Complete punch lists and handover to QC standard

Qualifications & skills

Required

• ITI / Diploma in Carpentry, Furniture or Wood Technology, or equivalent hands-on experience

• 8+ years furniture carpentry; 4+ years in upholstered seating; proven millwork experience

• Strong drawing reading, measurement and marking-out accuracy (±1 mm)

• Hands-on with table saw, panel saw, band saw, router, spindle moulder, planer, pneumatic staplers and upholstery tools

• Working knowledge of foam grades, springs, webbing, fabrics, leathers and adhesives

• Experience leading a small workshop team (3–8 people)

• Basic English/Kannada/Hindi for drawings, job cards and coordination

Preferred

• Experience with designer, hospitality or export-quality furniture

• Exposure to CNC-cut parts and production jigs

• Basic computer skills (Excel, WhatsApp/email reporting)
