60 years of growth
Schmidt is Europe’s leading kitchen and interior solutions brand with 700 showrooms globally—but we’re proud to still be family-owned and run, with our founder Hubert Schmidt’s grandchildren now leading the company. With no shareholders to answer to, our people are our priority—our customers, dealers, and employees. That outlook comes through in everything we do.

- Guiding customers to the right products
- Creating designs using CAD software

Proven sales skills, heaps of creativity, and relentless customer focus
You’re a creative people person who’s as excited as customers to transform their space.
