Fancy a woodworking job where you don't spend every day staring at the same four workshop walls?
We're recruiting an experienced Woodworker / Carpenter to join an established business designing, building and installing exhibition stands for clients across the UK and occasionally Europe.
It's a genuinely varied role. Roughly half your time will be spent in the workshop building and preparing stands, with the other half out on site installing them and, once the exhibition is over, taking them back down again.
What you'll be doing:
- Building and assembling exhibition stands in the workshop
- Working from drawings and specifications
- Preparing stands and components ready for installation
- Travelling to exhibition venues around the UK
- Installing and dismantling stands on site
- Occasionally travelling to European exhibitions
- Working as part of an experienced build and installation team
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.
Because of the nature of exhibitions, there will be overtime and some overnight stays. Overtime is paid at time and a half, so there is good scope to earn considerably more than the basic hourly rate.
When you're working away, your travel and associated expenses are covered.
We're looking for someone who already knows their way around woodworking and carpentry. Experience building exhibition stands, sets, displays or shopfitting would be particularly useful.
You'll need to be practical, reliable and comfortable working to deadlines. You'll also need to be happy travelling and staying away occasionally when a job requires it.

A full driving licence is essential.
The basic rate is £16 per hour, which we appreciate isn't the highest in the market. However, for someone happy to put the hours in, the overtime at time and a half provides the opportunity to significantly increase overall earnings.
If you're a capable woodworker who enjoys variety, wants to get out of the workshop and doesn't mind travelling to see the finished job come together, this could be a great fit.
