Requirements

• Experience: Significant experience (ideally 10+ years) in high-end carpentry/joinery installations, with a portfolio of luxury residential and commercial projects demonstrating superb craftsmanship.
• Technical Skills: Excellent technical knowledge of joinery installation and construction methods, including the ability to accurately read and interpret 2D plans and 3D drawings/models.
• Attention to Detail: Meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to delivering work to the highest level of quality and finish.
• Problem-Solving: Strong problem-solving abilities and adaptability on-site, able to make sound decisions under pressure when unexpected challenges arise.
• Communication: Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills, with a professional, client-friendly demeanour and the ability to work effectively with clients, designers, and construction teams.

• Certifications: Valid CSCS card (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) is required/preferred for site work, and SSSTS (Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme) certification is highly desirable.
• License & Eligibility: Full, clean UK driving licence and the legal right to work in the UK (as the role involves travel to various sites across London).

Benefits

• Competitive Compensation: A competitive full-time salary (negotiable based on experience) plus a company bonus scheme and pension plan.
