Cabinet Maker / Installer Jobs in Birmingham B46

This varies by client. For most workshop-based roles, all major machinery (panel saws, edge banders, CNC) will be provided. You are typically expected to have your own basic hand tools: a reliable drill/driver set, measuring tapes, levels, screwdrivers, clamps, and a hand saw. For site installation roles, you will need your own cordless power tools and a full hand tool kit. Your Quick Placement consultant will clarify the specific requirements for each assignment before you start. Some of our larger contractor clients provide power tools, but having your own demonstrates professionalism and readiness.

Not always, but it is a highly sought-after skill that can significantly increase your pay rate. Many modern workshops in Birmingham utilise CNC technology for precision cutting. If you have experience programming or operating CNC machines, please highlight this in your application. However, we also have many roles for traditional cabinet makers who focus on hand-finishing, assembly, and on-site installation. We match your skills to the right client. If you're eager to learn CNC operation, some of our clients offer on-the-job training for experienced joiners looking to upskill, which can be a great career progression path.

It's simple and reliable. You submit your timesheet to us (usually via a mobile app or email) at the end of each week. We invoice the client and process your payment. You are paid every Friday directly into your bank account for all hours worked the previous week. Your pay includes your agreed hourly rate plus accrued holiday pay. We handle all the payroll administration, tax, and National Insurance deductions. You will receive a detailed payslip each week. There are no hidden fees; the rate we quote is the rate you earn. For more information on how we compare to direct hire, you can watch our video on temp employment structures.

Our clients are located across the wider West Midlands region. While many roles are concentrated in the Birmingham B46 postcode (covering Sutton Coldfield, Coleshill, Water Orton), we regularly place cabinet makers in Birmingham city centre, Solihull, Coventry, Walsall, and Wolverhampton. Travel is often required, and mileage or travel time may be compensated for sites beyond a certain radius, which will be agreed upon before placement. If you have a specific travel limit, please inform your consultant so we can match you with local opportunities. We also have a network of opportunities nationwide; for example, check our Courier Driver roles in Bournemouth or Packer jobs in Wellingborough.

A temporary (temp) role is for a fixed period or project length, with no expectation of permanent employment at the end. A temp-to-perm role is a trial period where the client is actively looking to hire a permanent employee but wants to assess your skills and fit within their team first. This is a fantastic way to secure a long-term position. Typically, after a set period (e.g., 12 weeks), the client will offer you a direct contract if they are satisfied. Many of our cabinet maker placements start as temp and evolve into permanent offers because skilled tradespeople are in such high demand. We discuss your long-term goals during registration to target the right opportunities.
