  • Working from drawings, plans, and measurements
  • Using hand and power tools safely and effectively
  • Ensuring all work is completed to a high-quality standard
  • Working independently while supporting the wider workshop team

Skills & Experience Required

  • Previous experience in a hands-on trade or workshop environment
  • Experience in areas such as fabrication, carpentry, joinery, fitting, conversions, coachbuilding, or similar
  • Confident using hand and power tools
  • Good understanding of measurements and working from drawings
  • Strong attention to detail and pride in producing quality work
  • Reliable, hardworking, and able to work with minimal supervision

Benefits

  • Indoor workshop environment
  • Long-term stable position
  • Specialist industry training provided
