Working Foreman / Experienced Joiner & Builder
MKW Builders Ltd
We’re looking for an experienced Joiner / Builder to join MKW Builders as a Working Foreman.
This is not an office-based site management role. We need someone who can lead from the front, work on the tools and take responsibility for keeping a project moving.
Our work is predominantly residential extensions, conversions, refurbishments and new builds.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll be responsible for the day-to-day running of projects while remaining hands-on with the build.
Typical responsibilities include:
- First and second fix joinery
- Roofs, joists, studwork and structural timber work
- General building works
- Reading architectural and structural drawings
- Setting out
- Organising and working alongside other trades
- Planning work ahead and keeping projects on programme
- Making sure materials are ordered/requested in good time
- Checking workmanship and maintaining our quality standards
- Keeping sites clean, organised and professional
- Communicating progress and issues back to management
- Dealing professionally with clients while working in their homes
- Taking ownership of problems and helping find solutions
Who we’re looking for
Ideally, you’ll be a time-served joiner with strong all-round building experience and a good understanding of the complete construction process.
Groundworks experience would be a big advantage, particularly foundations, drainage, concrete, floor preparation and setting out.
You don’t need to be a groundworker by trade, but we want somebody who understands how a project comes together from digging the foundations right through to the finishing stages.
You’ll need to be:
- Experienced in extensions, conversions and/or new builds
- Confident running a site and organising trades
- Comfortable working on the tools
- Able to read and understand drawings
- Able to plan ahead rather than waiting to be told what to do
- Reliable, organised and professional
- Particular about quality
- Good at communicating with both the team and clients
- Willing to take responsibility and lead by example
Previous foreman experience would be great, but we’d also consider an experienced joiner/builder who is ready to step up and take more responsibility.
A full UK driving licence is essential.
SSSTS/SMSTS, First Aid would be advantageous.
The opportunity
We’re looking for someone who wants more than just another job.
We want somebody who can become a key part of MKW Builders, take ownership of projects and grow with the company as we take on larger and more complex builds.
If you’re the type of person who walks onto a site, sees what needs doing and gets it moving, we want to hear from you.
Pay: £200.00-£250.00 per day
Work Location: On the road
