Self-Employed Timber Yard Assistant / Labourer
2 months ago
Uckfield
We are seeking a person with a real passion for working with oak to assist in the production of a wide variety of products from beautiful fireplace beams and shelves to oak-framed structures and buildings. The nature and density of oak means that most projects undertaken are physically demanding. Whilst someone with carpentry skills and experience is preferable, additional highly important qualities will be a sense of pride taken in the work, a strong work-ethic, ambition to learn and develop and an ability to work closely with others in a team under the guidance of the manager. Our yard comprises an open-air site of about an acre in size, with a covered work-shop area where most of the carpentry work is done, and storage space. However, in bad weather, sometimes being outside in wet and muddy conditions is unavoidable.
Our work environment includes:
