Job description

Carpenter / Multi Trader

Base: Enfield (projects across London & within the M25)

Join our Specialist Division and become a key part of delivering high‑quality carpentry and multi‑trade works across a diverse portfolio of commercial projects.

We're looking for an experienced Carpenter/Multi Trader to support our expanding division, working on a mix of larger, long‑term projects and smaller planned works. This is not a reactive day‑to‑day role—you'll be based on each project for a sustained period, delivering consistent, high‑quality workmanship from start to finish.

What You'll Be Doing

• Carrying out carpentry and multi‑trade works across commercial buildings.
• Delivering high‑quality workmanship on both large‑scale and smaller planned projects.
• Working independently or as part of a project team depending on site requirements.
• Liaising with Supervisors and Project Managers when additional trades or materials are required.
• Ensuring accurate completion of job sheets, material usage, and project documentation.
• Maintaining high standards of productivity, safety, and professionalism on all sites.

Requirements

• Full UK driving licence – significant travel across London and the M25 is required.
• NVQ Level 2 Carpentry (essential).
• Strong experience as a carpenter with additional multi‑trade skills.
• Previous experience working in office/commercial buildings is highly desirable.
• Ability to work to excellent standards with minimal supervision.
• Strong communication and problem‑solving abilities.
• Professional, reliable, and able to represent the company positively at all times.
• Due to the nature of this position, an in-depth criminal record history check will be carried out.

Why Join Us?

You'll be part of a skilled specialist team delivering meaningful work across a range of commercial environments. We offer:

• Stability and long‑term project work.
• Supportive management and opportunities to develop your skillset.
• A company that values quality, safety, and professionalism.

Given the nature of this position, you will need to undergo a Standard Disclosure and Barring Service Check (DBS) at offer stage. Applicants with criminal convictions will be assessed individually, and we assure you that we do not discriminate based on an applicant's criminal record or the details of any disclosed offenses. Additionally, certain roles may be subject to additional pre‑employment checks.
