Careers at Cornerstone
Build your career
with Cornerstone.
Joiners, fitters, site leaders, office team and apprentices. If you take pride in doing the job properly, we would like to hear from you.
Why join us
Proper work,
done properly.
Cornerstone Fitout has been fitting out commercial buildings since 1986. We make our own joinery in our workshop at Walton Summit, Preston, and the people who make it are the people who fit it. That means real craft, real responsibility and work you can point to.
Our projects run from listed pubs and hotel ballrooms to hospital theatres, national restaurant rollouts and the stairs at Olympia London. We hold Investors in People Silver, which recognises how we develop our people, and we work safely, with the right PPE, on every job.
