The Role
As a Qualified Carpenter / Kitchen Fitter, you will be responsible for installing our bespoke, hand-crafted kitchens to a high standard directly in our customers' homes. Working from detailed design plans and specifications, you'll bring the design and sales team's work to life on site — fitting carcasses, worktops, doors and integrated appliances with precision and care. You will be the face of Horizon during installation, so a professional manner and pride in a flawless finish are just as important as your trade skills.

- Take precise on-site measurements before installation, flagging any discrepancies against the design or survey before proceeding.
- Maintain a high standard of finish and quality control on every job, snagging and resolving issues before sign-off.
- Represent Horizon professionally in customers' homes, keeping the worksite clean, tidy and respectful of the client's property throughout.
- Liaise with the production/workshop team, sales and design consultants, and other trades to ensure installations match specification and any on-site issues are resolved efficiently.
- Report any on-site issues, variations or additional works required back to the office and design team promptly.
- Manage your own time and schedule to complete installations within agreed timeframes.
- Adhere to health and safety standards on site at all times.
- Carry out a final walkthrough with the customer, ensuring their full satisfaction before sign-off.
