- Record inputs and outputs.
- Work with the Operations Manager to organise the day to day running of the workshop so that timber is processed efficiently, safely and on time to meet customer needs and for stock.

- An aptitude for working with machinery, basic practical knowledge of how machines work and basic use of tools such as spanners, screwdrivers and hammers is essential.
- The ability to organise a work area and workflow is essential. The role deals with raw timber coming into the workshop and finished products leaving. This requires good housekeeping and organisation.
- Able and willing to develop by attending training and keeping up to date with specialist knowledge.
- The ability to work alongside others and get on with people as part of a team.

- Improvements in the time it takes to do jobs and the cost. To be demonstrated through management records.
