Site Supervisor (Office Furniture Fitouts)

The Company:

Our mission is to reduce the carbon emissions and cost of office furniture.

We do this by remanufacturing high quality furniture to as-new condition and creating furniture ranges from waste materials. Furniture is the biggest source of carbon emissions in a commercial building – we reduce this by 80% while saving money for clients and creating jobs for local long-term unemployed with disabilities. Our 300+ projects prove that every office can be beautiful, sustainable and cost less.

Your Role:

As the business grows there will be opportunity for the candidate to grow and expand their skill set, creating further career opportunities.
