Senior Technical Office Engineer

Job Purpose

Lead the technical development and detailing of office furniture projects by translating approved designs, layouts, specifications, and client requirements into accurate and manufacturable technical documentation, while coordinating with Design, Sales, Production, Procurement, and Installation teams to ensure projects are executed in accordance with approved specifications, quality standards, cost considerations, and project timelines.

Key Responsibilities

§ Review approved project layouts, BOQs, specifications, client requirements, and design documents to identify technical requirements, gaps, conflicts, and execution constraints.

§ Develop detailed technical, shop, and production drawings including dimensions, materials, construction details, hardware, finishes, and assembly requirements.

§ Translate approved design concepts into technically feasible and manufacturable furniture solutions while maintaining the intended functionality and design requirements.

§ Evaluate proposed furniture solutions against manufacturing capabilities, materials, hardware, site conditions, and installation requirements.

§ Prepare and/or validate Bills of Materials, material specifications, hardware requirements, and related technical information in coordination with Planning, Master Data, and Production.

§ Specify appropriate materials, accessories, fittings, hardware, finishes, and construction methods based on approved requirements and manufacturing standards.

§ Conduct and/or verify site measurements and actual conditions against approved layouts and drawings before finalizing production information.

§ Coordinate with Interior Design, Projects Sales, Production, Planning, Procurement, Quality, and Installation teams to resolve technical requirements and project dependencies.

§ Prepare technical submittals, shop drawings, samples, material specifications, and other documentation required for client or consultant approval.

§ Respond to technical comments, RFIs, consultant feedback, and client requirements by developing appropriate technical solutions and updating documentation accordingly.

§ Control drawing revisions, approvals, technical changes, and document issuance to ensure all stakeholders work from the latest approved information.

§ Provide technical support to Production during manufacturing by clarifying drawings, resolving technical problems, and reviewing required modifications.

§ Review prototypes, mock-ups, samples, and first-production units against approved technical specifications before full production where required.

§ Support Installation teams in resolving site-related technical issues, dimensional discrepancies, modifications, and execution challenges.

§ Coordinate with Quality teams to define critical technical requirements and resolve recurring defects related to drawings, specifications, materials, or construction details.

§ Identify technically viable alternatives in materials, construction methods, hardware, and detailing that improve manufacturability or cost without compromising approved quality or functionality.

§ Analyze recurring engineering, production, and installation problems and develop permanent corrective technical solutions.

§ Develop and maintain standardized technical details, drawing templates, specifications, libraries, and engineering standards for recurring furniture solutions.

§ Plan and prioritize assigned technical-office workload according to project urgency, production requirements, client commitments, and approved project schedules.

§ Review technical work prepared by junior engineers and provide technical guidance, coaching, and quality checks before document release.

§ Recommend improvements to technical-office processes, engineering standards, tools, and coordination mechanisms based on recurring project and manufacturing issues.

§ Maintain complete and organized technical project records including approved drawings, revisions, specifications, technical approvals, and project correspondence.

Qualifications

§ Education: Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Applied Arts, Interior/Furniture Design,Architecture, or a related technical discipline, depending on MOHM's preferred profile.

§ Experience: 5–7 years of relevant technical-office/engineering experience, preferably within office furniture, furniture manufacturing, joinery, kitchens, fit-out, wood products, or a related project-based manufacturing environment.

§ Technical knowledge should include: Solid Works, AutoCAD, technical/shop drawings, furniture construction and detailing, materials and hardware, manufacturing processes, BOQs and specifications, BOM understanding, site measurements, production coordination, and installation requirements. Knowledge of CNC/manufacturing drawings and ERP/master-data processes would be particularly valuable in a manufacturing environment.

What We Are Looking For

§ Strong technical accuracy and attention to detail, with the ability to identify discrepancies before they reach production or site execution.

§ A solution-oriented mindset, capable of turning design requirements and technical challenges into practical, manufacturable solutions.

§ Strong ownership and accountability, following technical deliverables through to successful execution rather than limiting responsibility to drawing preparation.

§ The ability to balance design intent, technical feasibility, quality, cost, and manufacturing requirements.

§ Strong planning and prioritization skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects and changing priorities simultaneously.

§ Effective cross-functional collaboration, particularly with Design, Sales, Production, Planning, Quality, Procurement, and Installation.

§ A proactive approach to identifying and resolving technical risks before they create production delays, rework, or installation problems.

§ Strong analytical and problem-solving capability, particularly when dealing with manufacturing or site-related technical challenges.

§ The confidence and technical maturity to review junior engineers work and provide practical guidance.

§ A continuous-improvement mindset, actively looking for opportunities to standardize details, reduce errors, simplify execution, and improve Technical Office efficiency.
