Our client, a fine art logistics specialist based in Hertfordshire, is looking for a skilled Case Maker to join their Wood Shop team on a 6-12 month contract, covering a long-term absence within the team - with a genuine chance this becomes permanent depending on workload.
You'll be building bespoke cases, crates and plinths used to safely transport and store valuable fine art and objects, working closely with Fine Art Technicians, Project Managers and Shipping teams to get every build right.
What You'll Be Doing
- Designing, manufacturing and assembling bespoke fine art cases, crates and plinths to project requirements
- Interpreting drawings, measurements and specifications to produce accurate, fit-for-purpose solutions
- Selecting the right materials - timber, plywood, foam and specialist protective materials - to keep artwork safe and secure
- Operating hand tools, power tools and woodworking machinery to a high standard of craftsmanship
- Keeping accurate records of builds, dimensions and materials used
- Maintaining a safe, well-organised workshop in line with Health & Safety requirements
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We're Looking For
- Solid experience in carpentry or joinery is essential
- Confident interpreting technical drawings and working to precise measurements
- Comfortable using hand tools, power tools and workshop machinery
- A real eye for detail and pride in high-quality workmanship
- Able to work independently, solve problems practically, and manage your own workload
- Forklift experience is a bonus but not essential

What's On Offer
- £15 per hour
- 45-hour week, Monday to Friday, 8:00am - 4:30pm
- 6-12 month contract with strong potential to become permanent
- The chance to work on genuinely interesting, high-value projects within a specialist industry
If you've got a background in carpentry or joinery and fancy putting those skills to use protecting fine art rather than building furniture, we'd love to hear from you.
