The Workshop Supervisor (Bench Joiner Supervisor) leads a workshop that produces bespoke, made‑to‑measure furniture for lodge projects. The role ensures every piece is built on time, to quality standards, repeatable in process, and within budget. It blends hands‑on bench joinery expertise with planning, leadership, and quality control.
In the supervisory capacity, the supervisor coordinates and motivates a team of bench joiners and workshop staff, allocates work, and sets daily and weekly priorities to align with lodge production and installation schedules. Hands‑on training and technical guidance are provided to maintain high workshop performance and discipline.
The supervisor oversees the manufacture of kitchens, wardrobes, bedroom furniture, seating, and fitted units, ensuring compliance with drawings, specifications, tolerances, and finish standards. Production planning includes managing workflow, materials, fittings, and monitoring labour efficiency and material usage to stay on budget while identifying and resolving issues that could affect time, cost, or quality.
Quality control processes are implemented throughout production, with inspections of work‑in‑progress and completed furniture, and corrective actions taken to minimise rework, waste, and defects. The supervisor also develops repeatable build methods, works with design and CAD teams to improve drawing clarity, and drives continuous improvement for scalable lodge builds.
Health and safety policies are enforced, the workshop is kept clean and organised, and safety or maintenance issues are reported promptly. Administrative duties include tracking production progress against the four quadrants—built on time, built to quality, can we repeat, built to budget—providing regular updates to management, and assisting with stock control and material planning. The role requires proven bench joinery experience, leadership ability, strong organisational and problem‑solving skills, and a commercial, process‑driven mindset, with desirable NVQ qualifications and health‑and‑safety certification.
