Fed up with giving hours back for travel?

Does your employer expect you to give back hours each day for travel? Half an hour each way might not seem like a lot, but over a 12-month period, that’s 260 hours of pay that you’re missing out on! Sherwoods pays all our field engineers for door-to-door travel, so you’ll be paid for all the hours you put in.

What you’ll be doing.

As part of a team of 9 Multi-Skilled Carpenters, you'll always have the support you need. Your role will ensure the client's satisfaction through planned maintenance, emergency reactive calls, and project work. As a reactive facilities maintenance business, every day is unique. While we strive to keep you close to home, you'll have the opportunity to explore parts of the South West you may not have seen before. We'll provide you with a van and fuel card for your travels, and our industry-leading software will help you manage your workload effectively. 

What you’ll need.

You’ll be a time-served or qualified carpenter who has previously worked in a field-based multi-site maintenance role, and you’ll have experience with a range of building-related tasks, including general carpentry, repairs to doors, tiling, plastering, and roofing. You’ll be passionate about delivering a first-class service, whatever the challenges. Some sectors we work in involve close contact with vulnerable or young people, so you'll be subject to an enhanced DBS check. You will also need a full UK driving license.

If you care about such things, you might like to know that Sherwoods is a family-owned company that cares about its people and their progression. We have operated since 1974, establishing a strong presence in the South West. Our team of field engineers has more than doubled in size, growing from 60 to 130 since 2019, reflecting impressive recent growth.
