  • Confident working unsupervised
  • Able to organise and manage your own workload
  • Reliable and punctual – turn up, get stuck in and get the job done
  • Good work ethic and positive attitude
  • Able to work well as part of a team
  • Own basic carpentry tools
  • Own reliable transport
  • Valid Site Safe or Construct Safe – we can assist with this
