Job Description

We are looking for a skilled and reliable Cabinet Maker / Installer in Exeter EX1 to join a well-established joinery and fit-out company that has been operating in the region for over fifteen years. The company specialises in bespoke cabinetry for high-end residential kitchens, fitted wardrobes, home offices, and commercial fit-outs including bars, restaurants, and retail interiors. As a Cabinet Maker / Installer, you will be responsible for taking projects from the workshop through to final installation on site. This means you will work with a variety of premium hardwoods, MDF, plywood, laminates, and acrylic finishes — cutting, assembling, and installing pieces that meet exacting client specifications. The role demands precision, strong attention to detail, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a small, friendly team. With an ASAP start available, this is an ideal opportunity for someone looking for immediate work in Exeter EX1 and the surrounding Devon area.

At labourer.agency, we specialise in connecting skilled tradespeople with reputable local employers who need staff fast. We understand that finding the right role isn't just about pay — it's about working with a company that respects your craft, offers consistent work, and treats you fairly. That is why we take the time to match you with positions that suit your experience, preferences, and career goals. Whether you are an experienced cabinet maker looking for a new challenge or an installer with a strong track record in bespoke joinery, this role in Exeter EX1 offers genuine scope to grow. We handle the paperwork, check your references, and get you started as quickly as possible — so you can focus on doing what you do best. Our team is on hand throughout your placement to provide support, answer questions, and help you find your next opportunity when this one comes to an end. If you value a recruitment partner that communicates clearly, pays on time, and genuinely cares about your success, labourer.agency is the right choice for your next move.

Key Responsibilities

• Measure and mark cutting lines on timber, sheet materials, and veneers with accuracy — following detailed technical drawings, cutting lists, and client specifications to ensure every component fits precisely first time.
• Cut, shape, and assemble cabinet components using a combination of hand tools, power tools, and workshop machinery including panel saws, routers, edge banders, and sanders — producing finished units that meet high quality standards.
• Install cabinets, worktops, and associated hardware on client sites across Exeter EX1 and the wider Devon region — ensuring all units are level, securely fixed, and finished to a professional standard with minimal disruption to the client.
• Interpret technical drawings and cutting lists to understand project requirements, material quantities, and assembly sequences — liaising with the project manager or site supervisor to resolve any design or measurement queries before fabrication begins.
• Maintain a clean, organised, and safe working environment at all times — adhering to health and safety best practices, using PPE appropriately, and ensuring all tools and equipment are properly maintained and stored after each shift.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience as a Cabinet Maker, Kitchen Fitter, or Furniture Installer — ideally with a minimum of three years in a similar role, either in a workshop environment, on site, or both. A recognised apprenticeship or NVQ in bench joinery or furniture making is desirable but not essential if you can demonstrate strong practical skills.
• Own transport and a full UK driving licence — essential for travelling to sites across Exeter EX1 and the surrounding areas including Exeter, Topsham, Crediton, and beyond. Some projects may require travel to multiple sites in a single week, so reliable transport is a must.
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to quality — you take pride in producing work that is accurate, well-finished, and built to last. You understand that cabinet making is as much about precision as it is about creativity, and you are happy to spend the extra time needed to get things right.
• A valid CSCS card is preferred but not essential — if you do not currently hold a card, we can advise you on how to obtain one quickly. A full set of your own hand tools and portable power tools is expected, along with a willingness to follow site-specific health and safety procedures at all times.

Salary & Benefits

The pay rate for this Cabinet Maker / Installer in Exeter EX1 role is competitive and will be negotiated based on your level of experience, qualifications, and the specific requirements of each project.

For the right candidate, there is also the possibility of temp-to-perm progression, ongoing work across multiple projects, and the flexibility to choose shifts that fit around your other commitments.
