Staircase Surveyor / Bespoke Joiner (High-End)

Senior 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, split role between:

Site Surveys & Design:

\n
• Visiting residential and high-spec project sites across London and the Southeast
\n
• Taking detailed measurements and designing staircases on-site, including curved and bespoke configurations
\n
• Liaising directly with clients, builders, and site crews to ensure technical accuracy
\n
• Producing designs and specifications to a premium standard, balancing client vision with engineering requirements
\n

\n
• Comfortable working to demanding tolerance and finish standards, with detail-focused, high-spec clients
\n
• Curved staircases or curved handrail experience is a strong advantage - we're especially keen to hear from candidates with this background
\n
• Track record on bespoke, one-off, or complex projects rather than repeat standard products
\n
• Confident holding technical and design conversations with high-spec residential clients, architects, or interior designers
\n
• Comfortable with technical specification and reading plans, ideally CAD
\n
• Full UK driving licence, based within reasonable commute of Harlow
