Typical tasks include standing wall and roof frames, laying joists and sub-floors, fitting door and window frames, finishing fascias and cladding, putting up and stripping formwork for concrete and repairing damaged timber. Suitable qualified candidates may be considered for visa sponsorship. Carpenters who have worked on UK timber-frame or new-build sites will recognise most of the work.
