Put your carpentry skills to work helping people stay in the homes they love!
We're looking for a skilled Carpenter / Joiner to join our Operations team as a field-based Builder, working in our customers’ homes across Peterborough area / (East of England region). Working from technical surveys, you'll create the ceiling and floor apertures our homelifts travel through. It's accurate first-fix carpentry, and it has a real impact on people's lives.
At Stiltz Homelifts, we design, manufacture and install our award-winning homelifts that help people move safely and easily between the floors of their own home. For many of our customers, that means staying independent. As a skilled carpenter / joiner here’s where you come in, once you’ve completed your induction / training programme:
You'll be
- Forming ceiling and floor apertures to the exact dimensions working from technical surveys, keeping the structure sound and getting it right first time
- Adapting your approach to suit each home, as no two surveys are the same
- Working closely with site supervisors and our installation teams to keep projects on schedule
- Completing Building Control and electrical paperwork accurately and on time
- Working safely in line with our health and safety procedures and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM)
- Keeping to current Building Control regulations and good building practice at all times
- Using materials efficiently and staying within the agreed scope of works
- Carrying out weekly and monthly checks on your vehicle, tools and stock
- Supporting projects outside your usual area when the business needs it
