Our business is growing, and we’re looking for a skilled Carpenter to join our successful Capital and Planned Works team in Plymouth. You’ll carry out a varied range of carpentry and refurbishment work in customers’ homes across Devon. Experience in fire risk assessment (FRA) work, including fire door installation and fire stopping, would be an advantage, but it is not essential—if you have strong domestic carpentry skills, we’d love to hear from you.
At Ian Williams, honesty, integrity and collaboration shape the way we work. We combine traditional values with innovation and always aim to do the right thing for our customers and our people. With colleagues celebrating 20, 30 and even 40 years’ service, we know that trust, loyalty and long-term opportunity matter.
What we offer
- Competitive basic salary of £40,093 for a 39-hour working week
- On target earnings up to £44,149 with bonus, overtime and travel expense
- Travel and fare allowance
- Uniform and PPE provided
- Paid holidays, pension contributions and life insurance
- Free legal and financial advice, plus free counselling via Lighthouse Charity
