Build Extraordinary Homes with Your Hands

Imagine driving past a stunning oak-framed home years from now and being able to say: "I helped build that." At Oakwrights, that's exactly what we do.

We're not a large-scale factory turning out the same thing every day. We design and craft beautiful oak-framed homes and bespoke buildings that stand out for their quality, character and craftsmanship.

Whether you come from a carpentry, joinery, manufacturing, construction, or assembly background, this is an opportunity to develop your skills while working on unique, high-quality projects that you'll see transform into stunning finished buildings.

If you're practical, hands-on, and enjoy creating things to a high standard, we'd love to hear from you.

Who We're Looking For

You don't have to be an expert timber framer already.

What matters most is that you're practical, motivated and keen to learn.

You may have experience in:

• Carpentry
• Joinery
• Timber framing
• Construction
• Manufacturing
• Fabrication
• Workshop or assembly environments

You’ll also bring:
