We are looking for an experienced, trade-qualified Carpenter with good leadership skills to head up our residential fence installations.

What We Offer

Competitive renumeration commensurate with experience and leadership responsibility (attractive above-award rates for the right person)

Clear pathway to building supervisor starting with fencing, then to head up re-cladding and re-roof teams as we expand
