What you will be doing:

• Using different tools such as nail guns, saws, and machinery to lift and construct our timber frames

• Complete any relevant training needs for core skills, within own role and multi skilling.
• Demonstrate flexibility and team working to improve efficiency and effectiveness, meeting the needs of the business.

• Ensure work equipment / machinery is well maintained
