Oakmont Joinery & Property Development carry out a wide range of domestic and small commercial works across Edinburgh and the surrounding areas, including joinery, refurbishments, bathrooms, kitchens, windows and doors, garage conversions, extensions, full renovations and general building works.
This role would suit an experienced joiner, working foreman, multi-trade supervisor or trade-based project manager who understands property refurbishment, renovation and extension works and is looking to move into a more organised management and support role.
This is not a desk-only role. You will be out visiting sites, speaking with trades, organising materials, checking progress, supporting clients and helping make sure jobs are running properly.
You will work closely with the company director, office team, site teams, subcontractors, suppliers and clients. The aim of the role is simple: help keep our jobs organised, our teams supported, our clients updated and our standards high.

- You understand domestic refurbishment, renovation and general building works.
- You are practical, organised and calm under pressure.
- You can communicate well with trades, clients and suppliers.
- You are willing to muck in when needed to help get the job done.
- You want to enjoy your work and be part of a growing company.
Main duties will include:
- Visiting live jobs to check progress, quality, cleanliness and materials.
- Speaking with site teams daily to confirm progress and what is required for the following day.
- Organising and collecting materials from suppliers and merchants.
- Delivering materials to site when required.
- Helping keep sites tidy, organised and well presented.
- Taking photos, notes and updates from site.
- Assisting with job surveys and preparing notes for quotations.
- Liaising with clients in a professional and helpful manner.
- Supporting the office team with job information, updates and client queries.
- Helping organise subcontractors and suppliers.
- Checking that works are being carried out to Oakmont standards.
- Supporting the management of property refurbishments, renovations, extensions and general building projects.
- Flagging issues early before they become bigger problems.
The ideal candidate will have:
- A strong joinery, building or multi-trade background.
- Good knowledge of domestic refurbishment, renovation and small building projects.
- An understanding of materials across multiple trades, including timber, sheet materials, plasterboard, tiles, plumbing materials, electrical materials, fixings, doors, flooring, ironmongery, brickwork, roofing materials and general building materials.
- Experience dealing with trades, suppliers and clients.
- Strong organisation skills.
- Good communication skills.
- A can-do attitude.
- Excellent attendance and timekeeping.
- A professional appearance, as you will be representing the company in clients’ homes.
- Full UK driving licence.
A company van, fuel card, company iPhone and MacBook laptop will be provided. This is essential for the role, as the position involves regular site visits, supplier collections, material deliveries, job updates, client communication and general running between jobs.
This is a real opportunity to join a growing company who care about our team and the work we produce.
You will receive training and support directly from the company director, especially during the first few months, to understand how we price, manage and deliver our projects.
As the role develops, there will also be the opportunity to help with new enquiries, attend potential projects, support the quotation process and help bring suitable new work into the business.
What’s in it for you?
- Salary: £30,000–£35,000 depending on experience.
- Company van.
- Fuel card.
- Company iPhone.
- MacBook laptop.
