The Role

• Carrying out a wide range of joinery on project works, from fitting and finishing to installing and building bespoke items

• Working safely and considerately in active transport environments, alongside other trades and the customer’s teams
• Keeping your tools and materials in good order and passing clear updates back to the project team

Who We’d Love to Hear From

• Time-served joiner, or equivalent qualification, with solid commercial or industrial project experience
• A strong eye for detail and a real focus on quality of finish
• Confident reading drawings and working independently as well as part of a team
• Relevant site credentials such as CSCS card, and a good understanding of safe working practices
• A full UK driving licence

What’s on Offer

• A salary of £40,000, with a company van and benefits
• The chance to work on a flagship national contract with long-term stability and a steady pipeline of projects
• Genuine variety, with different projects and sites rather than a fixed patch
• A supportive, well-established employer that values quality workmanship

If you’re a joiner who’d like your work on show across a flagship account, send me your up-to-date CV and I’ll give you a call for a confidential chat about the role.

Our Commitment to Inclusion

As a recruitment agency, we are committed to promoting inclusive opportunities on behalf of our clients. We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, including those from under-represented communities.

If you have a disability, are neurodivergent, or require adjustments during the recruitment process, we’ll work with you and the client to ensure a fair and supportive experience.

We aim to represent employers who foster respectful, inclusive and collaborative workplaces — regardless of age, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity or background.
