Are you passionate about working with wood and want to be part of a team that brings timber buildings to life?
We're looking for someone who gets a kick out of working with natural materials, someone who appreciates the grain of the wood as much as the precision of the cut. In our busy Timber Frame workshop, you'll be part of a team that values craftsmanship, collaboration, and the beauty of building with timber.
Deadline for application: Friday 20th June
