All-round kitchen fitter (bbl)

The most beautiful kitchens, custom-made with precision

As a versatile kitchen fitter, you're the specialist in installing and customizing new kitchens. You're knowledgeable about kitchen furniture, wall finishes, and you also connect kitchen appliances.

A new kitchen must be perfectly finished. That's what the customer sees. Before that happens, you've already done a lot of work. At school, you learn the tricks of the trade.

You'll learn to take precise measurements and assess the space to ensure everything fits correctly. You'll assemble cabinets and install countertops. Sometimes you'll need to adjust cabinets on-site to ensure a perfect fit. You work safely with various machines, tools and materials.

You'll assign tasks to your colleagues and guide them. You'll handle customer complaints and be the point of contact for service and maintenance inquiries.

You're customer-focused and enjoy working in various locations. In this role, you'll collaborate with electricians, plumbers, and interior designers. At Summa, you'll learn how everything comes together to delight your customers.
