Full job description

Dolmen Conservation & Joinery Ltd
Location: Woodchurch, Ashford, Kent TN26 3RJ
Job Type: Full-time, Permanent
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00am–4:30pm
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience

About Us

Dolmen Conservation & Joinery Ltd is a specialist conservation and joinery company working predominantly on historic and listed buildings throughout the South East.

Our joinery workshop manufactures and repairs bespoke timber windows, doors and architectural joinery, combining traditional craftsmanship with the requirements of individual historic buildings.

Our work is varied, specialist and often completely bespoke. This is not a volume-production joinery environment.

The Role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Bench Joiner / Heritage Joiner to join our workshop team in Woodchurch, Kent.

We need an accomplished craftsperson who can confidently take a project from technical drawing through to completed joinery, working accurately and independently to a high standard.

The successful candidate will have strong setting-out and machining skills and proven experience manufacturing bespoke timber windows, doors and associated architectural joinery.

Experience within heritage conservation or listed buildings would be highly advantageous. However, we are equally interested in hearing from exceptional traditional bench joiners with transferable skills and a genuine interest in heritage work.

Key Responsibilities

Manufacture bespoke timber windows, doors, frames and architectural joinery
Read and interpret technical drawings, specifications and schedules
Set out work accurately from drawings
Manufacture joinery independently from initial setting out through to completion
Machine and prepare hardwoods and softwoods
Undertake traditional joinery techniques, including mortice and tenon construction
Manufacture traditional sash and casement windows where required
Carry out repairs and conservation work to existing historic joinery
Produce one-off and non-standard items for historic buildings
Ensure completed joinery meets drawings, specifications and required quality standards
Identify materials, ironmongery and other requirements for allocated work
Work effectively alongside other joiners and apprentices
Assist with site installation and investigative works where required
Maintain high standards of workshop organisation and housekeeping
Operate woodworking machinery safely and correctly
Comply with company health and safety procedures at all times

Essential Requirements

NVQ Level 3 in Bench Joinery, Architectural Joinery, Carpentry & Joinery, City & Guilds equivalent, or substantial equivalent industry experience
Significant professional bench joinery experience
Proven experience working on heritage, conservation and/or listed building projects
Proven experience manufacturing traditional timber sash and casement windows
Experience repairing and conserving historic timber windows and doors
Proven experience manufacturing bespoke timber doors, frames and architectural joinery
Strong understanding of traditional window and door construction
Ability to confidently read, interpret and work independently from technical drawings and specifications
Ability to set out and manufacture bespoke joinery independently from drawing through to completion
Strong machining skills and experience preparing both hardwoods and softwoods
Competent and experienced in the safe use of professional woodworking machinery
Strong knowledge of traditional joinery techniques, including mortice and tenon construction
Excellent attention to detail and consistently high standards of workmanship
Ability to assess existing historic joinery and understand where repair rather than replacement is appropriate
Reliable, organised and self-motivated
Ability to work independently and as part of a small workshop team
Full UK Driving Licence

Additional Advantageous Experience

Traditional glazing and putty work
Specialist conservation repairs and timber splicing
Working with architects' and conservation professionals' drawings and specifications
Site installation of traditional windows and doors
Experience working with hardwood architectural joinery
Experience working on Grade I, Grade II* or Grade II listed buildings

What We're Looking For

This role would suit an experienced joiner who enjoys proper bespoke joinery and takes genuine pride in producing high-quality work.

You should be comfortable being given a drawing or specification, understanding what is required and progressing the manufacture without requiring continual supervision.

Because of the nature of the buildings we work on, you'll also need a practical approach to problem-solving. Historic buildings rarely provide perfectly square openings or completely standard details, so an ability to understand how traditional joinery works and adapt appropriately is important.

What We Offer

Full-time, permanent employment
Competitive salary dependent on experience
Company vehicle
Monday to Friday working
Interesting and varied bespoke projects
Opportunity to work on significant historic and listed buildings
Specialist conservation and traditional joinery work
Further training and professional development opportunities
A friendly, skilled and experienced team

How to Apply

Please apply with your current CV, including details of your relevant bench joinery experience.

We would particularly welcome photographs or examples of bespoke windows, doors or architectural joinery that you have personally manufactured.

Applications from experienced traditional joiners without specific heritage experience are welcomed where you can demonstrate strong transferable skills and high-quality bespoke workmanship.

Pay: £15.00-£18.00 per hour

Benefits:

On-site parking

Experience:

Heritage Joinery: 5 years (preferred)

Work Location: In person
