Job Description
Quick Placement is urgently seeking a skilled and reliable Carpenter / Joiner to join our team of tradespeople working on various high-profile projects across the M1 postcode area. This role is ideal for a versatile craftsman who excels in both first and second fix carpentry, with a keen eye for detail and a commitment to delivering quality workmanship on time. You will be working for a leading main contractor and specialist subcontractors on a mix of commercial refurbishments, new-build residential developments, and bespoke joinery installations in Manchester's bustling city centre. Our client portfolio is extensive, meaning your skills will be in constant demand, providing you with job security and variety that is hard to find elsewhere.
As a specialist in construction staffing services, we don't just fill vacancies; we build lasting partnerships with both our clients and our candidates. Registering with Quick Placement gives you a direct line to the best carpentry jobs in Manchester without the hassle of trawling job boards. Our dedicated consultants, who have deep roots in the local construction recruitment scene, will match your specific skills and preferences with the right site and team. Whether you're looking for a short-term assignment to bridge a gap or a long-term position with a view to going permanent, we have the network and the expertise to make it happen. We apply the same rigorous 7-step vetting process to our own recruitment, ensuring you work alongside other professional, safety-conscious tradespeople.
Key Responsibilities
- Execute high-quality first and second fix carpentry to precise specifications, including stud partitioning, door hanging, skirting, architraves, and kitchen fitting.
- Interpret technical drawings and plans to manufacture, assemble, and install bespoke joinery items on-site, ensuring a perfect finish.
- Work efficiently as part of a site team, collaborating with other trades such as kitchen fitters, electricians, and plasterers to maintain project schedules.
- Operate and maintain a range of hand tools, power tools, and workshop machinery safely and in accordance with site regulations.
- Uphold the highest standards of health and safety, maintaining a clean and organised work area and adhering to all site-specific risk assessments and method statements (RAMS).
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a Carpenter/Joiner, with a solid portfolio of completed projects, preferably within the M1 Manchester area or similar urban environments.
- Your own full set of reliable hand tools and power tools, with a valid CSCS card (or equivalent) being essential for site access.
- A strong understanding of building regulations and an unwavering commitment to quality, precision, and finishing details.
- Excellent timekeeping, reliability, and a professional attitude. You must be able to work independently using initiative and as part of a cohesive team.
Salary & Benefits
We believe in rewarding skill and dedication fairly. For this Carpenter / Joiner role in M1, we offer a highly competitive pay structure designed to attract the best talent in Manchester.
Compensation Package
- Hourly Rate: £18 - £24 per hour, dependent on experience, specialist skills (e.g., heritage restoration, complex formwork), and the specific project.
- Payment: Weekly pay every Friday, processed reliably so you never have to chase your earnings.
- Holiday Pay: Accrued in line with statutory requirements, paid out regularly or on request.
