We are looking for both experienced and aspiring kitchen fitters to join our highly skilled team of installers on a fully employed basis. This is a great opportunity for people who take pride in their work and would be dedicated to delivering the same level of craftsmanship to fitting furniture as our bench joiners take in making it.
Previous experience in bench joinery or onsite fitting is beneficial, and applicants must be able to show an aptitude and interest in working with wood. New members of the team will be paired with time-served experienced deVOL fitters so there will be opportunities to learn or refine your craft.
We install kitchens for our customers across the UK and projects are generally not local to Loughborough, so it is a regular requirement of the job to be able to stay overnight on location during the week. Overnight allowances and accommodation will be provided.
Whilst we are predominantly looking for installers who are local to our Loughborough base, which is where our furniture is made, we are also considering applicants in the London area.
Applicants are required to have a full UK driving licence.
