We specialise in high-quality residential fence installation and are expanding into house re-cladding and reroofing.
We are looking for an experienced, trade-qualified Carpenter with good leadership skills to head up our residential fence installations.
This is a hands-on leadership role with a transparent growth path: once the fencing team is running smoothly, you will move into leading re-cladding and re-roof crews as we scale those services.
About the Role
Lead a residential fence installation team
Plan daily works, allocate labour, manage materials, and ensure jobs are completed on time, to standard, and safely
Assist with site measure, set out jobs, and maintain high workmanship and presentation standards

Grow into leading re-cladding and re-roof teams as the business expands these services
Uphold safety, quality, and compliance standards expected of a licensed builder

Valid Construction White Card
Current C-class driver's licence (HR preferred)
Strong work ethic, reliability, and a professional attitude
Genuine interest in growing with a business that is expanding
Working at Heights and other relevant tickets highly regarded
What We Offer
Start Casual but willing to off Full-time permanent position to the right candidate.
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
Opportunity to grow with a licensed builder moving into new markets
Supportive team environment and ongoing work
Superannuation, leave entitlements, and a company that values quality and reliability
If you are a capable carpenter who wants more than just swinging a hammer — someone who wants to lead a team and grow into a bigger role as we expand into re-cladding and re-roofing — we want to hear from you.
