Overview

A Site Carpenter will prepare and install basic building components, for  example, doors, straight staircases, wall and floor units and erecting structural carpentry and roof structures on a building site or in domestic and commercial premises.

Apprentices will need to be working towards and achieve the following job role requirements before their End Point Assessment (EPA):

  • Install building components including door and window frames, door and hatch linings, floor joists and coverings, straight partitions and straight staircases
  • Install doors, mouldings, ironmongery, service encasements, wall and floor units and fitments, cladding and staircase components
  • Erect inclined roofs with gables, joists, roof coverings and roof components

This Apprenticeship is ideal if you want a practical career in the building trade and enjoy the idea of working with wood to create a product

Next steps: On completion, you could progress to a Level 3 Apprenticeship in Architectural Joinery or Site Carpentry. For an Apprenticeship you need GCSE grade 4 in English and Maths. However, we will work with you and provide additional support to help you achieve the requirements, either prior to your Apprenticeship or during the delivery of your programme. You could also progress to a T Level. You will be required to demonstrate that you are enthusiastic and committed to succeeding.
