Joiner (Menuisier)

Joiners (Menuisiers) manufacture, install, and repair wooden structures and fittings including windows, doors, staircases, fitted furniture, and facades in French residential and commercial buildings, using traditional joinery skills combined with modern CNC manufacturing. France Travail consistently reports severe difficulties recruiting Menuisiers, with demand driven by both new construction and the large renovation market for thermal efficiency upgrades requiring window and door replacement. The CAP Menuisier or Bac Pro BOIS are standard qualifications.
