Life as a site carpenter

Carpentry, like other trades, needs you to travel from one site to another, completing a range of duties and obstacles.

Our courses will equip you with the theoretical and practical knowledge you'll need to become a competent site carpentry apprentice.

I came to LJ Construction after working as a gardener for many years. I went straight into a site role working with a mentor. I've now got 3 trainees working with me and I am running the carpentry production on a site in Bicester. I love it.

Carpentry Mentor

The Night School was perfect for me. I was working in removals up to 2021, I attended the 6-week course then I was offered a Trainee Position and haven't looked back since! I've just completed my first full fix on my own!

George Capel

Trainee Carpenter

I came here in 2017, I was working in a joinery workshop but wanted to earn more. The night school would have been great then, as I could have continued to work whilst training for site. I can now 2nd fix on site with a trainee, my earnings compared to the joinery are 50% more!

David Green

I joined LJ Construction in 2016 after coming through the college route. There was no work experience programme at the time but it sounds brilliant.
I started straight on site with a mentor, I now have 2 trainees working with me and I love it.
