Full job descriptionSenior Technical Operator / Measurer — Curved & High-End Staircases
Are you a skilled joiner, cabinet maker, or staircase craftsman with a passion for precision and an eye for high-end design? Do you enjoy a mix of hands-on site work, technical specification, and customer-facing conversations at the premium end of the market?
We’re working with a well-established staircase manufacturer, expanding into curved staircases and high-end hardwood work, alongside their traditional range. Due to this growth into a higher-end market, they’re looking for a Senior Technical Operator / Measurer to raise our technical standard and help lead this next chapter.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Site Surveys & Design:
*Visiting residential and high-spec project sites across London and the Southeast
*Taking detailed measurements and designing staircases on-site, including curved and bespoke configurations
*Liaising directly with clients, builders, and site crews to ensure technical accuracy
*Producing designs and specifications to a premium standard, balancing client vision with engineering requirements
*Raising the existing team’s technical standard and providing backup capacity.
Office-Based Technical & Sales Support:
*Selling high-end staircase and joinery work directly to customers
*Advising on design solutions for curved staircases, curved handrails, and bespoke hardwood details
*Managing technical specification and project coordination from enquiry through to delivery
*Providing measuring backup and technical support across the wider team
What We’re Looking For:
*Proven background in high-end, bespoke, or made-to-measure joinery, cabinet making, or staircase manufacture - production-line or standard-spec experience alone won’t be enough
*Hands-on background - you’ve been on the tools and understand the craft at a premium finish standard
*Comfortable working to demanding tolerance and finish standards, with detail-focused, high-spec clients
*Curved staircases or curved handrail experience is a strong advantage - we’re especially keen to hear from candidates with this background
*Track record on bespoke, one-off, or complex projects rather than repeat standard products
*Confident holding technical and design conversations with high-spec residential clients, architects, or interior designers
*Comfortable with technical specification and reading plans, ideally CAD
*Full UK driving licence, based within reasonable commute of Bishops Stortford / Harlow (in the office 2 days a week)
What’s On Offer?
*Up to £60,000 depending on experience and background
*Transport and all required measuring equipment
*Full-time, permanent - Monday to Friday
*22 days annual leave plus bank holidays
*Travel across London & the Southeast for site visits
A genuine opportunity to work for an established market leader - helping drive a product pivot into the high-end market. If you’re ready to bring your craftsmanship and technical skill to a business investing in its future at the top end of the trade, we’d love to hear from you.
