Furniture Carpenter

You will build kitchen units, wardrobes, and built-in cabinets from MDF, melamine board, and solid pine. A normal day runs from cutting panels on the beam saw and edge bander, through drilling for hinges and shelf pins, to dry-fitting carcasses before they go to assembly. You read the cutting list and the technical drawing, then check your own dimensions before the panels leave your bench. Some weeks you will be in the workshop the whole time; other weeks you go out to a flat or office in Larissa to fit the units on site. The shift is Monday to Friday, roughly 07:30 to 16:00, with the occasional Saturday morning when an installation deadline is tight. You work alongside two or three other carpenters and report to the workshop foreman.

You start at 1150 euro net a month. Once you show you can run a job from the cutting list to a clean install without rework, the foreman moves you up toward 1330 euro net. Carpenters who take on the harder fit-outs and help train the newer hands get there inside the first year.

The workshop is a covered industrial unit with dust extraction on the machines and good lighting over the benches. It gets loud near the saw and the air carries sawdust, so ear protection and a mask are part of the day. Summers in Larissa are hot, so the unit runs fans and the heavy cutting is scheduled for the cooler morning hours.
