Develop 2D technical drawings and 3D models for chairs, sofas, tables, beds, cabinets, and other furniture products.

Convert design concepts into practical furniture designs suitable for manufacturing.

Prepare front, side, top, and sectional views with accurate dimensions.

Develop furniture drawings with clear measurements, proportions, and construction details.

Suggest practical design modifications based on manufacturing feasibility, material usage, and structural stability.

B. Production & Manufacturing Drawings

Prepare production-ready drawings for the factory team.

Develop detailed component drawings with dimensions, thicknesses, joinery details, and assembly requirements.

Specify solid wood sections, panel dimensions, upholstery measurements, and other relevant material details.

Prepare exploded views and assembly drawings wherever required.

Ensure drawings are suitable for execution by carpentry, CNC machining, joinery, upholstery, and finishing teams.

Coordinate with the factory manager to resolve technical issues and improve manufacturing efficiency.

C. Material & Construction Planning

Understand solid wood furniture construction, particularly ashwood and other hardwood furniture.

Identify suitable wood sections, joinery methods, and construction techniques.

Consider structural strength, stability, ergonomics, durability, and material wastage.





Coordinate with production and procurement teams to ensure designs use available materials and manufacturing capabilities.

Assist in preparing basic Bills of Materials (BOMs) and component lists for production planning.

D. Customisation & Client Requirements

Understand client requirements and convert them into explicit technical specifications.

Review reference furniture images and identify dimensions, proportions, and construction details.

Prepare drawings for approval before production begins.

Incorporate approved revisions and maintain proper drawing versions.

Ensure the final approved drawings match the customer's requirements and the factory's production capabilities.

E. CNC & Manufacturing Coordination

Prepare dimensionally accurate drawings suitable for CNC-based furniture manufacturing.

Develop component profiles and machining details where required.

Coordinate with CNC operators to ensure drawings can be translated into practical machining operations.

Support the development of standardised furniture components and reusable design templates.

Identify opportunities to reduce production time, material wastage, and manufacturing complexity.

Candidates should be proficient in at least one 2D drafting and one 3D modelling software.

Preferred software:

AutoCAD – 2D technical drawings and detailed dimensions.

SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar CAD software – component design and manufacturing details.

Knowledge of CNC-ready drawings and furniture component development will be an advantage.

5. Technical Skills & Knowledge
