• Monitor projects through each production stage — cutting, carcass, joinery, assembly, finishing, upholstery, hardware installation, QC, packing and dispatch.
• Maintain strong quality control, particularly for joinery, dimensions, alignment, hardware, finishes and detailing.
• Ensure furniture is manufactured according to approved drawings, materials, samples and specifications.
• Prepare and maintain production trackers showing planned vs actual progress for every project/item.
• Coordinate procurement requirements for plywood, boards, veneers, laminates, hardware, timber, upholstery, finishes and consumables.
