Carpenter / Assistant Foreman

CCPM is looking for an experienced Carpenter / Assistant Foreman to join our construction team in Dublin.

We are looking for a qualified and experienced carpenter who is confident on the tools but is also interested in taking on greater responsibility for the organisation and supervision of construction projects.

This is a hands-on position and would suit an experienced carpenter looking to progress towards a Site Foreman / Site Manager role.

The Role

The successful candidate will continue to carry out carpentry and general construction works while also assisting with the day-to-day supervision and organisation of our sites.

Responsibilities will include:

• Carrying out first-fix, second-fix and general carpentry works.
• Assisting the Site Foreman and Project Manager with daily site operations.
• Supervising small groups of operatives and subcontractors.
• Coordinating day-to-day site activities.
• Reading and working from architectural and construction drawings.
• Monitoring workmanship and quality.
• Identifying defects or issues before work progresses.
• Organising materials, plant and deliveries.
• Assisting with the sequencing of works.
• Monitoring site safety, housekeeping and access.
• Reporting progress and upcoming requirements to the Project Manager.
• Assisting with snagging and completion works.
• Taking responsibility for areas of the site when required.
• Opening or closing the site when required and once suitably experienced.

The role will initially remain predominantly hands-on, with supervisory responsibility increasing as the successful candidate develops within the company.

What We Are Looking For

The ideal candidate will have:

• A recognised carpentry qualification.
• At least 5 years' relevant construction experience.
• Strong first-fix and second-fix carpentry experience.
• Good general construction knowledge.
• Experience working on residential construction projects.
• Ability to read and understand construction drawings.
• High standards of workmanship.
• Good organisational skills.
• Ability to coordinate other trades and operatives.
• A practical and proactive approach to solving problems.
• Good communication skills.
• An interest in progressing into a Foreman / Site Management position.
• Full driving licence.
• Full set of tools.

Previous supervisory or foreman experience would be an advantage but is not essential where the candidate has the right experience and attitude.

What We Offer

• €250–€300 per day depending on experience.
• Full-time employment.
• Varied residential and mixed-use construction projects.
• Opportunity to remain hands-on while developing supervisory experience.
• Increasing site responsibility for the right candidate.
• Clear opportunity to progress into a Site Foreman role.
• Long-term position within a growing construction company.

We are looking for someone who takes pride in their work, can take responsibility and is interested in developing beyond a traditional carpentry role.

Pay: €250.00-€300.00 per day
