General Building jobs in Mildenhall

Job Title: Carpenter / General Builder
Location: Nonsuch Estate, Bromham, Wiltshire, SN15 2ED
Day Rate: Competitive – Freelance / Contract

About the Project:
Nonsuch House is a Grade II* Listed country house that suffered extensive fire damage in 2021. We’re now breathing new life into the estate, restoring the house and grounds and converting it into a boutique hotel and farmstay that honours the building’s history while embracing thoughtful modern design.

This is not your average site — it’s a long-term, high-quality project with a strong emphasis on craftsmanship, attention to detail, and doing things properly.

The Role:
We’re looking for a skilled carpenter with general building experience to join our site team. While your core skillset will be in carpentry, you’ll also be expected to turn your hand to a range of practical building tasks — including drylining, insulation, basic plasterboarding, and small-scale structural work.

We’re after someone dependable, adaptable, and proud of their work — the kind of person who can be left to get on with it, and who notices when something needs doing.

Key Responsibilities:

• Carry out first and second fix carpentry to a high standard
• Assist with general building work including drylining, boarding, framing, and occasional demolition or prep tasks
• Work sensitively within a historic, listed building environment
• Collaborate with other trades on site and contribute to problem-solving
• Interpret drawings and adapt to the unique quirks of working on an old building
• Keep a tidy, well-organised working environment

About You:

• Broad experience across carpentry and general building
• Comfortable working on heritage projects or with non-standard structures
• Takes pride in doing things right, not just quickly
• Reliable, proactive, and easy to work with
• Own tools and transport preferred
• Based within a reasonable distance of Bromham, Wiltshire

What We Offer:

• A long-term role on a one-of-a-kind project
• A calm, respectful site culture with a focus on quality
• Competitive day rate, depending on experience
• Flexibility on working days/hours where needed
