Job Description
We are looking for a skilled and reliable Carpenter / Joiner to join a well-established construction and refurbishment company operating in Southampton SO14 and the wider Hampshire region. This role involves a mix of first fix, second fix, and bespoke joinery work across residential and commercial projects. You will be working as part of a tight-knit team on sites that range from new-build housing developments to high-end renovation projects in and around the city centre. The employer values quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a strong work ethic. They have a solid reputation in the local area and offer a supportive working environment where your skills are genuinely appreciated. As a Carpenter / Joiner in Southampton SO14, you will be expected to hit the ground running, interpret technical drawings accurately, and produce work that meets both client expectations and building regulations.
Recruiting Today has built strong relationships with employers across the South Coast, and this role is one of several carpentry and joinery positions we are currently filling in the Southampton area. We understand the local job market inside out, and we pride ourselves on matching the right people with the right opportunities quickly and efficiently. Whether you are an experienced site carpenter, a bench joiner, or someone who specialises in kitchen fitting and shopfitting, this role offers variety, stability, and the chance to work on interesting projects. If you are looking for a Carpenter / Joiner job in Southampton SO14 with an immediate start, this is the opportunity you have been waiting for.
Key Responsibilities
- Carrying out first fix carpentry tasks including stud wall erection, floor joist installation, roof timber framing, and staircase fitting on residential and commercial sites across Southampton SO14.
- Performing second fix joinery such as skirting board fitting, architrave installation, door hanging, ironmongery fitting, and kitchen unit assembly to a high standard of finish.
- Reading and interpreting technical drawings, CAD plans, and specifications to ensure accurate measurement, cutting, and assembly of timber components and bespoke joinery items.
- Operating a range of power tools and hand tools safely and efficiently, including circular saws, mitre saws, planers, routers, nail guns, and chisels, while maintaining all equipment in good working order.
- Liaising with site managers, other tradespeople, and clients to coordinate work schedules, resolve any on-site issues, and ensure that all carpentry and joinery work is completed on time and within budget.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a Carpenter / Joiner with a minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience in the construction industry, ideally including both new-build and refurbishment projects.
- A valid CSCS card is essential for this role, as you will be working on construction sites across Southampton SO14 where site safety accreditation is mandatory.
- Strong knowledge of building regulations, health and safety best practices, and modern construction methods relevant to carpentry and joinery in the UK.
- Own transport is preferred due to the location of some sites in and around Southampton SO14, but we will consider candidates who are able to commute reliably via public transport.
