How to find a furniture assembler: kitchens, wardrobes, site visits
Workshop or installation at the customer's
Furniture assembly comes in two kinds. In a workshop, the assembler works with ready parts, fittings and fasteners and checks that everything is there. On site, he installs kitchens, wardrobes and cabinet furniture in flats and houses, deals with customers, fits to the space and connects appliances. These are different jobs with different requirements, so decide at once whom you are looking for.
Site visits and own vehicle
For on-site installation a vehicle or a way of reaching the sites is often needed. Say plainly whether you compensate fuel, whether you issue tools, and whether he works with a helper. An assembler on site is responsible for cleanliness, accuracy and communication, and a customer complaint hits your business's reputation. So pay usually depends on the number and difficulty of orders.
It helps to name the typical fittings and materials you work with at once: laminated particleboard, MDF, plywood, facades, opening systems, wardrobe sliding systems. Then the candidate can judge whether the range is familiar, and you won't spend a day checking.
What to put in the job post
- Which furniture — kitchens, wardrobes, cabinets, office;
- Pay — salary, a percentage of the order, piece rate;
- Place of work — city and area;
- Schedule — for example, 6 days a week or by orders;
- Workshop or site visits — where exactly the person will work;
- Own vehicle — needed or a company vehicle is provided;
- Experience — how many years, and with which tools;
- Paperwork — formal employment, contract, on the payroll.
Example: “Central, an assembler of kitchens and wardrobes is needed for visits to customers. 2+ years of experience, own vehicle, own power tools or we issue them. 6 days a week, salary from HK$2,400 or a percentage of the order, formal employment.”

How to choose the best one
Ask for photos or examples of kitchens he has assembled, and find out which fittings and systems he has installed. Ask about problem-solving: what to do when a size doesn't match or the wall is uneven. For carpentry work, think also of a joiner, and for fitting and repair tasks, a fitter. The general list is in the manufacturing section.
