 Recruiter: Breeze Mitchell @ 360
 Reason for Hire: To lead and manage complex bespoke joinery installations on a landmark, high-value project in Oxford

This is a rare opportunity to join a specialist subcontractor delivering high-end fit-out and bespoke joinery packages on one of the UK’s most prestigious, large-scale developments. The project forms part of a £1bn+ innovation-led scheme, focused on cutting-edge technology, life sciences, and advanced commercial spaces.

Operating within a niche sector of the market, the business is recognised for delivering complex, design-led joinery and fit-out solutions on projects where quality, precision, and innovation are critical.

 • Ensure all works are delivered to high-quality, high-spec standards
 • Maintain strong understanding of joinery installation processes and methodologies
 • Drive productivity and performance across multiple work fronts
 • Work within strict Health & Safety and site compliance standards on a highly regulated project
 • Support and manage Site Managers and Supervisors across different sections of the project

 • Opportunity to work on a flagship, multi-year project (minimum 2+ years)
 • Exposure to cutting-edge, high-spec joinery and construction methods
