Northamptonshire | £15-£19 per hour | Permanent | Early Finish Fridays
Are you a skilled bench joiner or wood machinist who prefers proper workshop work over site installs? This is a rare opportunity to use your craftsmanship on highly detailed, technical builds that go far beyond standard joinery.
Impact Recruitment are working on behalf of a well-established manufacturing business in Northamptonshire that produces high-end architectural products. They are looking for a capable workshop professional to manufacture precision wooden moulds and patterns used in cast stone production. It is intricate, hands-on work that requires accuracy, care, and pride in what you produce.
This is not repetitive production line work. Every project is different, and your skill will be genuinely valued.
The Role
Working in a clean, organised workshop, you will:
Manufacture detailed wooden moulds and formers used to cast architectural stone products
Work from technical mould drawings that are produced in reverse, requiring strong spatial awareness and the ability to visualise the finished piece
Operate woodworking machinery including spindle moulders, saws, planers and sanding equipment
Carry out traditional bench joinery - marking out, shaping, assembling and finishing timber components
Work to tight tolerances and high quality standards
Inspect finished moulds to ensure they are accurate and ready for casting
Collaborate with design and production teams to overcome practical build challenges
What Theyre Looking For
Solid background in bench joinery or wood machining in a workshop or manufacturing setting
Confident operating woodworking machinery safely
Ability to read and interpret technical drawings
Experience working in reverse/negative form for moulds, or strong aptitude and spatial awareness to learn
High attention to detail and a methodical approach
Practical problem-solving skills
Able to work independently and as part of a team
Not suitable for:
This position is not aimed at site carpenters whose experience is mainly installation-based rather than workshop manufacture.
Whats on Offer
Permanent role with long-term stability
£15.00 - £19.00 per hour depending on experience
Morning shift:
Monday-Thursday: 6:30am - 3:00pm
Friday: 6:30am - 2:00pm (early finish)
Skilled, varied work where quality matters
If you take pride in precision joinery and enjoy technical workshop builds rather than site work, this is well worth a look. xjlbheb
