About this role

About our client

Crafted, not manufactured. Our client is not an average renovation contractor. Founded on a simple promise — that clients deserve to know exactly what they are getting — they have spent the last 20 years building a reputation as one of Singapore’s most reliable bespoke carpentry and interior architecture firms. While the industry often relies on mass-produced particle boards and outsourced third-party factories, our client does everything in-house, from the first sketch to the final coat of paint. Operating from their own licensed carpentry workshop in the Kaki Bukit area, their team of master carpenters and joiners fabricate 100% of every project themselves, bypassing middlemen to keep total quality control.

Zero mass production. Every joint, profile and structural timber core is fitted and dry-assembled under physical clamp jigs before it reaches a client’s home, giving a near-flawless 99.8% finish.

Health and longevity first. They build exclusively with premium structural hardwood and non-toxic water-based polymer glues, creating safe ultra-low-emission E0/E1 environments.

Durability against the elements. Heavy-core blockboard and solid lumber reinforcements, engineered to last decades, backed by a 5-year structural timber warranty.

A culture of craftsmanship and accountability

A team of dedicated professionals who take complete hands-on responsibility. They are HDB Registered and BizSafe Level 3 certified, and committed to their studio process. Whether crafting a minimalist luxury condo, a high-performance kitchen, a boutique retail storefront or a corporate workspace, their goal is the same: strip away distracting details and let the natural beauty of the wood take centre stage. They did not set out to be the biggest firm in Singapore — just the most reliable one you would ever work with.

About the role

Our client is seeking a detail-oriented Drafter / Junior Designer to join their in-house design and production team. An excellent opportunity for a recent graduate or early-career professional to grow in a company that values precision, craftsmanship and hands-on mentorship.

Why join

  • Hands-on learning directly with experienced carpenters and designers in a fully in-house workshop.
  • Growth potential for a junior professional building a long-term career in bespoke carpentry and interior architecture.
  • Meaningful work on projects built to last with premium materials and health-conscious practices.
  • A supportive culture that values craftsmanship, accountability and attention to detail.
