Carpentry Jobs in Sheffield
How do I get in?
You will need professional qualifications to get on and get ahead. Most carpenters either train as an apprentice with a company straight from school, or by completing an NVQ/SVQ to Level 2 or 3 before seeking employment. This qualification can also be undertaken on a day-release basis from a job. City and Guilds qualifications are also available and these are equivalent to NVQ/SVQ. An HND in Furniture Making is another option and is very useful for someone wanting to become a cabinet-maker.
What job could I do?
Formworker - this job involves making temporary structures on construction sites that are used like moulds to support wet concrete before it sets
Carpenter - carpentry is the art of cutting, joining and framing together timbers essential to the stability of a structure. Basic carpentry is not visible at the end
Joiner - joinery is the art of dressing, framing, joining, and fixing wood for the finishings of houses. Joinery work has to look good because it will be on view
Shopfitter - a shopfitter specialises in producing the fronts for shops, restaurants and banks and does most of his/her work on site
Maintenance Carpenter - a maintenance carpenter works for a business or local authority and the work involves the upkeep of buildings
Freelance Carpenter - this involves being self-employed and promoting your skills yourself. Freelance carpenters often work as shopfitters
Building Conservation and Restoration - this is one of the biggest growth areas for carpenters. Working in this area requires specific skills and knowledge
Cabinet-Maker - a cabinet-maker either puts together ready-cut parts of furniture in a workshop or is a skilled joiner producing hand-made furniture
Manager - as in all industries there is the opportunity to progress to management, either as a foreman, site manager, or contract manager.
