Carpentry Apprentice

About Us:
Circular11 takes waste-bound plastic waste, and turns it into outdoor products that are more durable than timber whilst having a net-negative carbon footprint. We are a recycling and manufacturing start-up that is developing cutting-edge technology that enables plastic to have a positive impact on people and planet at every point in it’s lifetime, and our vision is a world in which low-grade plastic is used to replace the 500 million tonnes of outdoor infrastructure currently made out of timber.

The role will focus on the following core set of activities:

- Learn and assist in setting out, measuring, cutting and shaping of our material.
- Learn and assist in the assembly of components, using a range of joinery techniques.
- Learn to operate and maintain carpentry hand tools and equipment safely and effectively.
- Learn to operate a variety of power tools and fixed workshop machinery including the operation of plastic processing equipment.
- Carry out quality checks against specification and take remedial action where required or instructed.
- Comply with health and safety regulations and follow safe work practices to protect yourself and others.
- Maintain a clear and tidy workspace at all times.
- Ability to follow instructions and work effectively as part of a team whilst bringing a positive attitude, willingness to learn, and openness to feedback.

**Requirements**:
We want to train up, and invest in, an individual that adds to our culture. We are looking for people that have:

- **Drive**: You have a desire to learn and maximise the opportunities to improve skills.
- **Integrity**: You would rather spend longer getting a job done properly, than rush and do a botched job.
- **Friendliness**: You care about the kind of team you’re a part of, and look out for others.
- **Work ethic**: You are prepared to put in the work to improve and learn all that you need to excel in our production environment.
- **Values**: You believe in, and gain energy from, our mission to eliminate plastic waste.

It is a benefit if you’ve had prior experience working, in particular with practical projects. However, as an apprenticeship, we will be teaching you all of the skills that are needed, so no prior experience is required.
