Custom Furniture Maker/Carpenter

Quality & Company works with the world’s leading hospitality brands, architects, and designers to craft inspiring furniture pieces those who travel come to expect when staying in top tier accommodations. With over 30 years of expertise, Quality & Company is operated by some of the finest in the industry. As our business continues to expand, we are looking for top talent to ensure the growth and development of our people, and our vision.

As a Custom Furniture Maker/Carpenter, you will lead the end-to-end fabrication of bespoke pieces, overseeing complex custom jobs with a high degree of independence while operating in a fast-paced environment. Success in this role requires seamless collaboration with the internal CAD, CNC, and Project Management teams to problem-solve and engineer the best technical outcomes. You must be highly organized, managing your own workflow to meet struct production deadlines while maintaining uncompromising quality standards.

Responsibilities

• Technical Design & Planning: Study detailed blueprints, shop drawings, and technical specifications to determine precise material requirements and optimal construction methods.
• Prototyping & Show Wood Expertise: Advanced proficiency in show wood frame construction, ensuring all exposed wood elements are structurally sound and aesthetically flawless. Must be able to interpret shop drawings and independently build full-scale samples from start to finish with a master-level ability to fill in “technical gaps” using professional judgement, ensuring the final prototype aligns with the client’s vision and functional needs.
• Precision Fabrication: Operate industrial woodworking machinery – including power saws, jointers, routers, and more, to cut and shape wood components with minimal margins of error.
• Material Selection: Sourcing and preparing high-quality hardwoods, softwoods, and laminates based on shop drawings.
• Structural Frame Engineering: Develop and construct high-durability internal wood frames using a range of different species including Maple, Oak, Ash, Poplar, and more. A technical understanding of upholstery and foam specifications is required including foam density to ensure frame dimensions and bevels properly accommodate specified cushioning without compromising the final aesthetics or comfort.
• Prototyping Feedback Loop: Lead the transition from digital concept to physical sample, providing critical feedback to the Design Programming Teams on fit-and-finish adjustments needed before moving to full-scale production.
• Bespoke Joinery: Assemble complex components using specialized techniques such as dovetail or mortise and tenon joints to ensure long-term structural integrity and visual appeal.
• Design for Manufacturability: Consult with internal CAD and Programming teams during the development phase to suggest ”real-world” engineering solutions, such as wood species selection or grain orientation to prevent further structural issues or bottlenecks.
• Quality Control: Conduct thorough inspections at every production stage to ensure each piece conforms to exact design dimensions and finishes.
• Repair & Restoration: Assess and rehabilitate existing furniture. This includes structural repairs, restyling, smoothing gouges, and meticulous multi-stage sanding/re-sanding to restore or refresh a piece.

Skills and Qualifications

• Technical Proficiency: Advanced knowledge of woodworking techniques, machine operation, and safety standards.
• Precision: High attention to detail for precise measurements and minimal margins of error.
• Mathematics: Strong basic math, arithmetic, and geometry skills for calculating layouts and material costs.
• Physical Stamina: Ability to stand for long periods, lift heavy materials (up to 100 lbs), and maintain dexterity in hands and fingers.
• Collaboration: Communication skills to work with designers and Project Managers to bring visions to life.
