About
RCI Construction is a relatively small family-run business operating in Cambridge. We are a small consistent team that are passionate about what we do and working together.
Become part of a small team of skilled craftsmen where we will take time to pass our carpentry knowledge and experience to you. You will gain experience working on every aspect of carpentry, from timber framing and roofing to hanging doors and fitting kitchens. Our priority is to give you the opportunity to become a highly skilled carpenter.
The typical day starts at 07:30 where you will work alongside one of the carpenters. You will assist them with the tasks for the day, gaining the skills and experience to use hand and power tools under supervision.
