All Jali opportunities are currently based at the cutting-edge Jali factory & offices in Barham near Canterbury, Kent. The company has been established for over 30 years, providing bespoke furniture solutions to customers across the country. Jali customers can design their ideal furniture online, and this custom information is passed to the factory automatically to be cut by CNC, processed, painted, and packed. To deal with the huge number of unique parts each day, Jali is reliant on software and systems, and we are keen to hear from people who share our commitment to advanced technologies and efficient workflow.

Workshop Staff

This role will be based within the Jali factory, taking responsibility for your own specific workstation, and working as part of a small team. You will help to ensure the efficient processing of unique wooden parts, whether operating machinery, assembling components, painting & sanding, packing, or other associated tasks. Staff are sometimes moved between workstations, to ensure greater personal development and a stronger team understanding. You will report to the workshop supervisor. The role offers benefits including holiday, overtime opportunities, parking and the chance to be part of the changing face of British manufacture. You will be required Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm.

Jali is not the average factory. Because every product we manufacture is unique, there is a greater emphasis on computer systems to keep production flowing in an organised and efficient manner. The ideal candidate will share our enthusiasm for maintaining these systems. Care and attention to detail are required, as well as the desire to achieve and exceed daily production targets. You will value team spirit, and do your bit to preserve a happy, productive and safe working environment.

We appreciate a high degree of integrity. There is a lot to learn at Jali, so you must be prepared to develop new skills rapidly, and be comfortable asking for help when necessary. The opportunity will be extremely rewarding for the right candidate.

If you are interested in this position, please send an email to Mark at MSS@Jali.co.uk with your CV attached.

Unexpected Talent Welcome

While we may not always have a suitable vacancy listed, we are always keen to hear from people who feel they could make a positive difference at Jali. As a bespoke manufacturer, our work spans woodworking, machinery, assembly, finishing, maintenance, problem-solving and in-house computer systems, so we know that valuable skills do not always fit neatly into a standard job title.

If you have experience in woodwork, factory machinery, maintenance, engineering, workshop organisation, software, technical problem-solving, or any other practical or systems-based role that you believe could strengthen the Jali team, we would be pleased to hear from you. We are particularly interested in people with initiative, common sense, attention to detail, and the willingness to learn.

Jali is not an average factory. Because every product we make is unique, we rely on a combination of craftsmanship, machinery and well-organised systems to keep production flowing smoothly. That means there is often room for people who can improve processes, support others, maintain equipment, or bring useful technical knowledge that we did not realise we were missing.

We appreciate a high degree of integrity. There is a great deal to learn at Jali, so you must be prepared to develop new skills rapidly, and be comfortable asking for help when necessary. For the right person, there may be an opportunity to shape a role around your strengths and experience.

If you think you may have something to offer, please send an email to Mark at MSS@jali.co.uk with your CV attached and a short introduction explaining why you feel you would be a good fit for Jali.
