Works Manager (Bespoke Joinery)

£50,000 - £55,000 + Company Van + Fuel Card + Christmas Bonus + Training + Company Social Events

Hawkhurst, Near Tunbridge Wells

Are you an experienced joinery professional, with project management experience, looking to join a growing bespoke joinery business where you can take ownership of operations, client relationships, and project delivery?

On offer is the opportunity to join a respected Kent-based manufacturer specialising in high-end bespoke joinery solutions. With a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship and quality, the company delivers projects across the residential and commercial sectors, with particular expertise on doors and windows.

You will oversee the day-to-day operations of the business, working closely with the Assistant General Manager and Workshop Manager to coordinate production, manage client relationships, prepare quotations, and deliver projects from initial enquiry through to completion.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
