Location: London
Hours: 40 hours per week
Salary: £60,000 – £70,000 plus company bonus and potential equity scheme
Benefits:
* Clear pathway to a senior leadership or director-level role
* Equity scheme opportunities as the business grows

* Work on prestigious, design-led projects in partnership with leading architects, interior designers, and contractors
About the Role
This is an exciting opportunity for a hands-on, commercially minded Production Manager with a deep understanding of high-end joinery manufacturing and bespoke furniture making. You will play a pivotal role in ensuring that projects move seamlessly from design to installation, maintaining the exceptional standards demanded in the luxury interiors market.
In the high-end bespoke joinery sector, no two projects are alike. You will be overseeing the creation of one-off, custom-built pieces — from wardrobes and kitchens to full interior fit-outs — where precision craftsmanship, attention to detail, and client service are paramount. The role will require close collaboration with design teams, skilled bench joiners, finishing specialists, and installation crews to ensure every project meets both deadlines and the exacting aesthetic standards of the luxury market.
You will also liaise directly with architects, interior designers, and main contractors, interpreting technical drawings and ensuring the manufacturing process reflects the original design intent while being practical and achievable in production.
Key Responsibilities
* Production Management: Maintain and update the production schedule, ensuring projects are designed, manufactured, finished, delivered, and installed on time. Coordinate with all departments to align priorities and resolve scheduling conflicts.
* Project Oversight: Manage projects from the initial design stage through to final installation. Focus on subcontracted works, logistics, installation sequencing, and on-site quality control.
* Quality Assurance: Uphold the highest standards of craftsmanship throughout all stages of the process, carrying out regular checks in the workshop and on-site.
* Client and Stakeholder Liaison: Act as a primary point of contact, keeping clients informed, managing expectations, and maintaining strong professional relationships.
* Team Leadership: Oversee the Workshop Supervisor, sprayers, site installers, and other operational staff. Provide leadership, guidance, and performance feedback to the wider team.
* Commercial Support: Assist with defining project scopes, preparing quotations, and supporting the securing of new work.
* Problem Solving: Anticipate potential issues in design, production, or installation, and implement practical solutions swiftly.
Skills & Experience Required
* Minimum 5 years’ experience in bespoke joinery or high-end cabinetry manufacturing, with at least 2 years in a Production or Project Management role.
* Expert understanding of joinery manufacturing processes, finishing techniques, and installation requirements for high-end interiors.
* Ability to read and interpret architectural, design, and workshop drawings with precision.
* Strong leadership skills with the ability to motivate and manage a multidisciplinary team.
* Excellent organisational and time management abilities.
* Clear, confident communicator with both written and verbal skills.
* Proficient in spreadsheet software such as Excel or Google Sheets.
* Commercial awareness and ability to balance quality with cost-effective production.
* Positive, proactive, and solutions-driven attitude.
This is a career-defining role for a driven Production Manager who thrives in the luxury interiors and bespoke joinery sector and wants to grow with an ambitious company working on some of the most beautiful residential and commercial spaces in the UK
