Job description

Carpenter role in Brighton (BN1), paying £200 per day, with an immediate start available. This is a remedial fire-door role working within occupied residential properties, and we're particularly looking for an experienced Carpenter with a strong background in fire-door remedials. The initial works will involve approximately 12 internal fire doors across two units, focusing on repairs and remedial works rather than new door-set installations. This will include routing and fitting new fire strips where required, before moving onto approximately four to six weeks of external fire-barrier and cladding works. We're looking for a skilled Carpenter who is confident working across both the internal fire-door phase and the external cladding and fire-barrier works.

As a Carpenter, you will be:

• Completing remedial works to existing fire doors.
• Carrying out repairs and adjustments to fire doors within occupied residential properties.
• Routing and fitting new fire strips where required.
• Working on approximately 12 internal fire doors, with potential additional communal-area works.
• Completing external fire-barrier and cladding works following the internal phase.
• Working carefully within occupied residential properties and minimising disruption to residents.
• Recording completed works accurately using a digital reporting system.
• Following site procedures and tool-control requirements.
• Providing and using your own suitable hand and power tools.
• Using a trim or flush router to complete fire-strip installation works.
• Keeping work areas clean, tidy and safe.
• Completing works efficiently and to a high standard.

I’d love to speak to anyone who has:

• Strong experience as a Carpenter, particularly within remedial or fire-door works.
• Solid experience carrying out remedial works to existing fire doors.
• Experience working within occupied residential properties.
• A Blue CSCS card as a minimum requirement.
• BM TRADA or FIRAS accreditation, ideally, although this is not essential.
• Experience working under an accredited fire-door contractor.
• The ability to complete both internal fire-door remedials and external fire-barrier/cladding works.
• Their own standard hand and power tools.
• Their own trim or flush router – this is essential for the role.
• Experience using digital systems to record completed works.
• A reliable, careful and professional approach.
• Availability to start immediately and work in Brighton.

The role is offering:

• £200 per day
• Approximately six to eight weeks of work in total.
• Immediate start available.
• Initial internal fire-door remedial works followed by external fire-barrier and cladding works.
• All required materials available and stored securely on site.
• Single-site project in the BN1 area.
• Potential for additional work depending on project requirements.
• Consistent work for an experienced Carpenter with the right skill set.
• Work within a small occupied residential development.
