Carpenter
The construction of every building you see in the Netherlands has been made possible by carpenters. Without their craft, we have no shelter, workplace, or other facilities. A skilled carpenter is often praised. You are indispensable for construction. Our population grows constantly, so naturally more residential areas are a necessity. Old buildings decay and need fixing and restoration work. There is enough work to be done and you’ll already see results after a long day. When nearby, you could proudly show off your projects! Your handmade window frames or porch are worth showing. Make a difference and become a carpenter.

A new week begins, and so a new project commences in a different neighbourhood. That variety is wonderful. Your work consists of concrete foundations, roofs, and window frames, for example. And the first blow is half the battle. That is why you perform extensive preparations on the work location. Measuring and inspecting based on the blueprints. You know that your carpentry work fits in the existing dimensions. With your eye for detail your finishing touch is extremely sharp. Your main tasks are:
- Reading and understanding blueprints
- Measuring work
- Carpentry work on roofs, foundations, prefab-elements, doors, and frames
