Apprentice (Joiner)

Do you enjoy making things and have an eye for detail? This could be the apprenticeship for you!

Joiners are found in the maintenance and construction sector, and they work with building materials, most often wood and timber, to create and install building components. There is a growing demand for carpenters and joiners.

As an Apprentice Joiner, you will join Durham County Council’s highly skilled Building and Facilities Maintenance team, and you will have the opportunity to develop the skills and competencies to be able to assist in the provision of a building repairs and construction service.

Your day-to-day duties will include supporting the Construction, Repairs and Maintenance Managers, and wider team, with joinery installation and maintenance issues, as well as promoting and developing working practices and procedures to improve the Health and Safety culture. You will ensure compliance with standards, policies and procedures and promote the service to both existing and potential customers.
