Job Description
We are seeking a skilled and reliable Joiner to join a dynamic team working on high-quality residential and commercial fit-out projects in the heart of Glasgow. This is a hands-on role requiring precision, a strong work ethic, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a larger construction team. The successful candidate will be working for a well-established contractor known for its commitment to quality and safety, on projects ranging from luxury apartment refurbishments in the G1 postcode to new-build commercial units. This is an excellent opportunity for a carpenter and joiner looking for consistent, well-paid work through a reputable agency.
At Staffing Service, we pride ourselves on being more than just a recruitment agency; we are your career partner in the skilled trades recruitment sector. By applying through us, you gain direct access to a curated list of vacancies that are often not advertised publicly. Our dedicated consultants understand the specific demands of joinery work in Glasgow and will match you with roles that suit your skills and career aspirations. We streamline the process, handling timesheets and payments efficiently so you can focus on your craft. Just as we provide specialist solutions for roles like Construction Staffing nationwide, we apply the same rigorous standards to placing joiners locally.
Key Responsibilities
- Execute high-standard first and second fix joinery including installing doors, windows, skirting, architraves, and bespoke fitted furniture to precise specifications.
- Interpret technical drawings, schematics, and building plans to measure, mark up, and cut materials accurately on-site and in workshop environments.
- Fabricate, assemble, and install structural components such as timber wall frames, floor joists, and roof trusses, ensuring compliance with all building regulations.
- Operate and maintain a wide range of hand tools, power tools, and workshop machinery (e.g., circular saws, planers, routers, mortisers) safely and efficiently.
- Conduct quality checks on your own work and contribute to maintaining an exceptionally clean, safe, and organised site, adhering to all health and safety protocols including SSSTS or similar site safety awareness.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a Joiner, with a solid portfolio of work and relevant qualifications (e.g., NVQ Level 2/3 in Carpentry and Joinery, City & Guilds, or time-served apprenticeship).
- Own full set of professional hand tools and reliable transportation to get to various sites across Glasgow and the surrounding region.
- A strong understanding of building methods, materials, and a meticulous eye for detail, ensuring finish quality meets the highest standards.
- Essential certifications: Valid CSCS Card (preferably Gold Skilled Worker or Blue). Desirable: PASMA, IPAF, or Asbestos Awareness certificates.
Salary & Benefits
We believe in rewarding skill and dedication transparently. This Joiner position offers a highly competitive hourly rate, typically between £18 and £23 per hour, dependent on your specific experience, qualifications, and the nature of the project. For exceptional candidates on long-term contracts, rates can be negotiated. All pay is processed weekly, ensuring you have regular and reliable income.
Your Package Includes:
- Weekly Pay: Get paid every Friday without fail via our efficient timesheet system.
- Holiday Pay Accrual: Build up your holiday pay entitlement in line with statutory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I start this Joiner role in Glasgow?
We are recruiting for an ASAP start. If you have your documents (CSCS card, proof of address, right to work) ready and can pass a quick registration interview, you could be on site within 24-48 hours. The speed of start is one of the key benefits of temporary agency work through Staffing Service.
Do I need my own tools and transport?
Yes, for this specific Joiner position, you are required to have your own full set of professional hand tools (e.g., hammer, chisels, squares, hand saws). Power tools are sometimes provided by the client but having your own drill/driver is advantageous. You must also have reliable transportation to get to various sites across the Glasgow region, as public transport may not be feasible for early starts or remote locations.
What type of CSCS Card do I need?
You must hold a valid, in-date CSCS Card. The Gold Skilled Worker card (obtained with an NVQ Level 2/3) is preferred for this skilled role, but a Blue Experienced Worker card is often acceptable with proven experience. A Green Labourer card is not sufficient for this position. If you need to renew or apply for a card, we can point you towards accredited test centres. Safety is paramount, as detailed in our partner content on site safety roles.
Is this a temporary role only, or are there permanent opportunities?
This vacancy is initially advertised as a temporary placement. However, many of our temporary roles serve as a prolonged interview with the client. For candidates who demonstrate exceptional skill, reliability, and fit, there is a strong possibility of the role converting to a temp-to-perm (permanent) position. We have a proven track record of facilitating this transition for joiners, steel fixers, and other trades.
How and when do I get paid?
All Staffing Service workers are paid weekly, every Friday. You will submit digital timesheets via our easy-to-use portal or app, which are approved by your site supervisor. Once approved, payment is processed swiftly. We offer payment via BACS. Holiday pay is accrued in line with UK law and can be paid with your weekly wage or saved up.
Does Staffing Service have other construction roles outside of Glasgow?
Absolutely. As a nationwide recruitment and staffing agency, we fill a vast array of construction and trade roles across the UK. Whether you're a Steel Fixer in Edinburgh, EH1 looking for your next contract, or are curious about opportunities for Housekeeping Staff in Harrow, HA1 or Front of House Staff in London, W1, we have a dedicated division for each sector.
