What's the difference between a carpenter and a joiner?

The terms are often used interchangeably, though carpenter usually means on-site structural work, while joiner more commonly means bench-based work like doors and fitted items.

Does Rhino place shuttering carpenters?

Yes. We place shuttering and formwork carpenters into civils and groundworks projects UK-wide, alongside site and bench carpenters.

What tickets or qualifications do I need?

Most carpentry roles ask for a CSCS card as standard, with an NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Carpentry and Joinery commonly required. Some projects ask for additional certifications depending on the site.
