- 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.

- 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.
