Other requirements

Many construction projects are by nature carried out outdoors and have to proceed throughout periods of hot, cold and wet weather. As with many other roles in the wider construction sector carpenters have to stand for prolonged periods in order to carry out their duties and candidates would need to consider this if this is their chosen career. The exact location of future projects are unknown but will involve some aspect of traveling for the team to get to and from each site / project as and when required. It is preferred that candidates live in the Long Eaton/ Sandiacre (NG10/NG9) area, so the business owner can pick them up or have their own transport to get to different jobs.
