The Opportunity
As part of a strategic growth roadmap, G2 is seeking an experienced Carpenter to bring real craft to our projects. Established in 2020 and based in Bedfordshire, we’re a boutique firm working across the Northern Home Counties and London — residential new build and refurbishment, increasingly through Passivhaus and low-energy methods.
This is a role with craft at its heart. It isn’t about swinging a hammer — it’s about applying genuine skill to high-specification, low-energy work where the standard of the finish is everything. You’ll work alongside our site team and our clients, where teamwork is everything, and the projects genuinely one of a kind.
Core Character & Mindset
• Craft-led: You take pride in a finish that speaks for itself and hold that standard whether anyone is watching.
• Organised and dependable: You take pride in getting the details right and following things through.
• Generous with what you know: You bring our apprentices and trainees on, and you stay open to learning new methods yourself.
Carpentry Skills & Experience
• Across the board: Confident delivering 1st and 2nd fix carpentry, including roofing, to a consistently high standard.
• Judgement on site: Reading drawings thoroughly and offering practical solutions when a project throws something up.
• Client-facing integrity: The professionalism to work well in someone’s home and leave a good impression alongside good work.
Non-negotiables
• Safety, without compromise: A safe working environment for yourself and everyone around you is a condition of the role, not a preference.
Built on Modern Tools
As a forward-thinking business, we invest in doing things properly. We utilise systems such as JobTread, to help our projects move forward better, an app-based approach in construction.
Why G2 is Different
• Craft that’s valued: A direct line to the people making the decisions, on projects where the finish is the point.
• Hours that respect your time: 08:00–16:30 Monday to Friday.
• The work: High-specification, low-energy projects that genuinely make a difference.
Practicals & Benefits
• Pay: Best rates of pay, suited to your experience and skill. (CIS or PAYE)
• Progression: Further training and a clear route to develop alongside our Passivhaus work.
• Stability: Performance-based project bonuses.
• Getting there: Own vehicle and full UK driving licence essential.
