Carpenter Job Description: Coventry CV1

Staffing Service, a premier construction staffing agency in the Midlands, is recruiting experienced Carpenters for a major portfolio of residential, commercial, and refurbishment projects across Coventry CV1. Our clients range from national housebuilders and principal contractors to specialist fit-out firms, all requiring skilled tradespeople for immediate starts.

This is a pivotal role where you will be responsible for high-quality first and second fix carpentry, installing structural timber frames, creating bespoke joinery, and ensuring all work meets rigorous building regulations and client specifications. By applying through Staffing Service, you gain access to a dedicated consultant who manages your placements, negotiates your pay, and ensures you are matched with reputable employers who value skilled labour. We streamline the process, handling timesheets and payments weekly, so you can focus on your craft.

The construction sector in Coventry is booming, with significant investment in city-centre regeneration, new housing developments, and commercial infrastructure. This creates a sustained demand for reliable Carpenters. Whether you're seeking a long-term assignment with a single contractor or prefer the variety of shorter-term projects, our agency model provides the flexibility and security modern tradespeople need. We also support other key roles on site, including Quality Control Inspectors to maintain standards and School Cleaners / Janitors for post-construction site cleans.
