About our client

Our client is an award-winning, architect-led design and build practice specialising in high-quality private residential renovations and home transformations across North and East London.

As a RIBA Chartered Practice and active contributor to the Federation of Master Builders, the company combines architectural design excellence with construction delivery - challenging the traditional separation between design and build.

You will spend most of your time on site, creating exceptional homes for private clients across London whilst maintaining quality standards and helping keep projects running safely, efficiently and on programme.

You will work under the working foreman, whilst also being in communication with inhouse Architects, and Site Managers while remaining actively involved in the build. For this role we are looking for a skilled carpenter ideally with bricklaying experience. This role also comes with a very clear progression path leading to, Working Foreman to Site Manager to Site Team Leader and finally to Director. This role will really suit someone who is looking to progress their career.
