Are you a precision Joiner who takes real pride in high-end internal finishes?

Search Consultancy is recruiting a skilled operative for an upcoming commercial fit-out project. This role centres on high-spec internal finishing-specifically hanging precision door sets and installing decorative, high-performance acoustic wall panelling.

If you hold a Blue or Gold CSCS card, have an eye for fine detail, and want a consistent, well-paid run of 2nd fix work with a highly organised main contractor, this is an excellent fit.

• 2nd Fix Internal Doors: Hanging, swinging, and dressing timber door sets, lining frames, and installing high-grade architectural ironmongery (latches, closers, handles).

• Detailed Trim & Finishing: Fitting skirtings, architraves, window boards, and cover trims with clean, tight mitres and flush joints.

• Architectural Compliance: Reading and working directly off detailed interior drawings to maintain visual symmetry, gap tolerances, and pattern alignment across large panel surfaces.

• Material Management: Handling expensive, pre-finished acoustic panels and hardwoods carefully to eliminate surface damage and minimize site waste.

To meet the site''s strict quality standards, applicants must hold:

• CSCS Card: A valid Blue (Skilled Worker) or Gold (Advanced Craft / Supervisor) CSCS card is strictly mandatory. (Red or Green cards cannot be accepted for this role).

• Specialist Joinery Experience: Proven track record in 2nd fix internal joinery with practical experience installing acoustic panelling or detailed timber feature walls.

• Tools & Kit: Your own full kit of professional 110v or cordless power tools (fine-tooth mitre saw, routers, plunge saw, track guide, nailers, laser level) and standard 5-point PPE.

• Workmanship: High aesthetic standards-delivering smooth, square, and flush finishes essential for commercial handovers.

• Right to Work: Valid proof of right to work in the UK.

• Strong Market Rate: A dependable rate of -23.00 per hour paid under CIS.

• Full-Time Hours: Guaranteed 40-hour working week with consistent, daily site schedules.

• Quality Projects: Work alongside reputable main contractors on clean, high-spec commercial builds across the region.
