Join an ethical, industry-leading British manufacturer specialising in high-performance, handcrafted bespoke timber products. They have a strong focus on sustainability and are FSC® certified, excelling in blending traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge digital innovation.
We are seeking a Technical Joinery Designer to lead digital construction for bespoke timber doorsets. You will utilise SolidWorks and SWOOD to convert architectural designs into parametric, manufacture-ready models, driving CNC production and ensuring strict compliance with fire-rating standards.
Responsibilities
- Develop and manage parametric libraries for timber doorsets, ensuring models automatically adjust for varying dimensions and leaf thicknesses
- Create and maintain complex configurations within SolidWorks to handle diverse ironmongery sets, lock cut-outs, and intumescent seal specifications
- Produce detailed technical drawings for bespoke joinery, specifically focusing on timber interfaces, veneering details, and frame assemblies
- Utilise SWOOD to automate the generation of CNC programmes, grain-matched cutting lists, and production-ready documentation
- Coordinate with the ironmongery schedule to ensure all hardware prep, from hinges to electronic strikes, is accurately represented in the 3D model
- Ensure all designs remain compliant with fire-rating (FD30-120) and security (PAS24) certifications
- Generate accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs) for the procurement of timber, veneers, and specialist hardware
