Current openings

Two roles for people who care about proper workshop-made joinery

These positions are aimed at practical, hands-on applicants who understand that bespoke workshop work depends on accuracy, steady output and a good finish rather than speed alone.

Full-time

Bench Joiner

Ipswich workshop

Workshop-based joinery role producing bespoke timber windows, doors, staircases and one-off commissions in Ipswich.

This role suits someone who takes pride in accurate bench work, understands workshop standards and is comfortable working on bespoke pieces rather than repetitive stock items.

What the role involves

  • Making and assembling bespoke joinery from drawings, cutting lists and workshop briefs
  • Working across windows, doors, staircases, cabinetry and specialist one-off items
  • Maintaining clean workmanship, accurate tolerances and a careful finish throughout
  • Collaborating with the wider workshop team to keep jobs moving in the right order

Useful background

  • Previous bench joinery or cabinetmaking experience
  • Confidence reading drawings and understanding bespoke dimensions
  • A practical approach to quality control and workshop housekeeping

Full-time

Wood Machinist

Ipswich workshop

Key workshop role preparing timber sections and machined components that feed directly into Monarch Joinery's bespoke production work.

This role is best suited to somebody who values accuracy, consistency and safe machine operation, with an understanding of how machined sections affect the final quality of the joinery.

What the role involves

  • Setting and operating workshop machinery for bespoke timber sections and component preparation
  • Machining hardwood and softwood accurately to suit individual jobs rather than stock sizes
  • Checking finished sections for consistency, profile accuracy and finish quality
  • Supporting bench joinery workflow by preparing material in the sequence required

Useful background

  • Experience operating wood machining equipment in a joinery or manufacturing environment
  • An eye for profile accuracy, timber quality and repeatable results
  • A steady, organised approach to workshop safety and production flow

Workshop environment

A joinery workshop where detail and consistency still matter.

Monarch Joinery works across period and listed properties, private homes, contractor packages and specialist commissions. The common thread is bespoke manufacture in-house, with material quality and finish taken seriously.
