This is primarily a furniture assembly and installation role, with an element of van driving and deliveries. The successful candidate will spend a large part of their working day assembling, installing and fitting office furniture at customer premises throughout Northern Ireland and Ireland.

We are particularly interested in candidates who have good practical DIY skills, enjoy working with their hands and are confident using basic tools.

• Using basic hand tools and equipment to complete furniture assembly and installation.
• Following assembly instructions and ensuring furniture is fitted correctly and to a good standard.
• Driving a company van to deliver office furniture to customer locations across Northern Ireland and Ireland.
• Loading and unloading furniture, equipment and materials.
• Undertaking manual handling duties, including lifting, carrying and positioning office furniture.
• Providing a professional, friendly and helpful service to customers.
• Working as part of a two-person team, alongside a colleague to complete deliveries and installations.
• Ensuring all work is carried out safely, efficiently and to a high standard.

The Ideal Candidate:

We are looking for someone who:

• Holds a full, valid UK driving licence.
• Has previous experience assembling flat-pack furniture, undertaking DIY projects, maintenance, fitting or other practical hands-on work.
• Is confident using basic hand tools and following assembly instructions.
• Has good problem-solving skills and takes pride in completing work to a high standard.
• Is comfortable with physical work, including lifting, carrying and moving office furniture.
• Has previous van driving or delivery experience (desirable).
• Is reliable, punctual and able to work effectively as part of a team.
• Is flexible regarding travel, as deliveries and installations may be required anywhere across Ireland.

Don't have previous furniture assembly experience? If you have good DIY skills, practical ability and confidence using tools, we would still be keen to hear from you.

Training & Career Development:

Full training and support will be provided, including:

• Furniture assembly and installation training.
• Manual handling training.
• Forklift training.
• CSR training.

There is also genuine scope for progression within the role and the wider company for someone who demonstrates the right attitude, commitment and practical ability.

What's on Offer?

• Permanent, full-time employment.
• Monday to Friday working hours, 8:20am – 4:50pm.
• Starting pay of £12.71 per hour.
• A £1,500 annual salary increase after 6 months.
• Full training and development opportunities.
• The opportunity to gain additional qualifications, including forklift and CSR training.
• Opportunities for career progression within an established company.
