. Evaluate initial production samples, identify structural or aesthetic flaws, and refine drawings for final client approval and full-scale production.

. Drive material and process innovation across solid woods, veneers, engineered timber, metals, stone, leather, acrylics, and specialized architectural hardware.

- Cross-Functional Collaboration & Factory Operations

. Work closely with Production, Purchase, Project Management, and Quality Control (QC) teams to resolve technical manufacturing challenges on the factory floor.

. Coordinate with procurement teams to source specialized hardware, luxury fabrics, commercial-grade finishes, and raw materials.

. Support project teams to ensure client specifications, tight hospitality/commercial project timelines, and budget constraints are met.





- Team Leadership & Quality Control

. Lead, mentor, and review the output of a team of furniture designers, CAD draftspeople, and technical detailers.

. Establish standard operating procedures (SOPs) for drawing formats, design libraries, and technical documentation.

. Conduct strict quality audits at the raw material, assembly, and final finishing stages prior to dispatch and site installation.
