Experienced Production Jeweller / Workshop Supervisor

Job description

Posh Totty Designs turns 20 this year and we have lots of exciting plans in the pipeline. That’s why we have an exciting dynamic role to help drive us forward; leading and managing our friendly team of talented jewellers.

A bit about us

Posh Totty Designs is an established British jewellery brand with a real passion for creating high-quality but affordable personalised jewellery for our loyal customers.

We are a close creative team who believe in slow not fast fashion; designs that can be worn every day and then treasured forever. Timeless pieces that capture stories, moments and memories.

We are committed to creating sustainable jewellery; from utilising recycled precious materials to providing a care and re-wear service that enables customers to love their favourite PTD piece for longer.

Established in 2004, we are one of the largest female-owned workshops in Sussex, with beautiful shops in both Brighton and London, along with our online brand store and collaborations with e-commerce shopping platforms.

What We Are Looking For

Maybe you're an established jobbing jeweller and are now looking for an opportunity to grow and develop your career?

Along with a good understanding of jewellery-making and workshop processes, we need someone who is both creative and practical. Someone who can lead and manage a team but be hands-on when required. A special person who is both dynamic and calm under pressure.

This is a new role so there is scope to define the position and make it your own. The ideal candidate will have at least 3 years of bench experience.

Your Duties Will Include:

Manage production, productivity and ensure the timely delivery of work completed in the workshop.

Mentor and develop a diverse team; from apprentice-level to highly experienced craftspeople.

Implement the highest standard of Quality Control across all workshop output.

Ensure staffing levels are in line with demand and workflow.

Continuous measurement of the workshop to control the costs and proactively look for efficiencies.

Bench skills including cleaning and assemble castings, resizing rings, soldering, high standard polishing, stone setting (flush, claw), hand-stamping (training provided).

Working with the Creative team on new samples and creating pieces from a design brief.

We are also interested in any experience with machine engraving, gold plating and melting /remodelling customer jewellery.

An enthusiastic, creative and passionate team, Posh Totty Designs is like no other workplace.

We offer a host of benefits including a generous 50% staff discount on jewellery, a 20% friends and family discount and are proud to be a Living Wage employer.
