Are you passionate about turning creative concepts into expertly crafted furniture? Do you have a solid understanding of timber, joinery, and how furniture should be designed for both form and function? We’re looking for a Mid-weight Draughtsman to join our product development team and bring precision, clarity, and buildability to every design.
This position will be based in Epping, Cape Town.

ROLE OVERVIEW:

As our Mid-Weight Draughtsman, you’ll play a vital role in transforming conceptual designs into factory-ready products. Working closely with our Buying, Product Development, and Manufacturing teams, you’ll ensure that creative ideas are translated into detailed, technically sound drawings and prototypes — all while maintaining the brand’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Convert concept designs into detailed, accurate technical drawings and 3D models for review and production.
• Prepare comprehensive design packs and Bills of Materials (BOMs), ensuring all components are correctly specified.
• Brief approved designs to our in-house WFCF and WFCU teams for prototyping.
• Drive and oversee the prototyping process, ensuring alignment with design intent and production feasibility.
• Work hands-on with production and machine operators to troubleshoot and refine prototypes.
• Develop and maintain a digital library of technical drawings across all furniture ranges.
• Evaluate and recommend suitable materials, fittings, and joinery methods for both new and existing designs.
