with gables, joists, roof coverings and roof components. You will be taught how to use, maintain and store hand tools, power tools and associated equipment.
A Site Carpenter will normally work on a building site, or in domestic and commercial premises, preparing and fixing building components, from the initial erection of a new building, through to the installation of all necessary fixtures
and fittings, as well as a range of repair and maintenance activities.
You will be taught about the importance of working safely and to be aware of key health, safety and welfare issues. By the end of your apprenticeship, you will be expected to be able to plan and carry out work to a commercial standard including using drawings and specifications to complete your work and understand how to select the required materials to carry out the work including timber, tools and fixings.
