Leading Hand Carpenter - Decks & Pergolas
HS Outdoor Living | Melbourne | Full-Time | $*****/hr (based on experience)
HS Outdoor Living builds decks, verandahs and pergolas across Melbourne. We're growing, and we need a Leading Hand Carpenter who can run a crew on site, keep jobs moving, and build to a standard we're proud to put our name on.
This isn't a "keep your head down and cut timber" role. You'll be the one on site making the calls - organising the crew, reading the job, and making sure it's built right the first time.
What you'll be doing
Running the day-to-day on site as leading hand - organising your crew, sequencing the work, and keeping the job on schedule
Hands-on construction of decks, pergolas and verandahs, from footings through to final fix
Reading plans and specs and making sure the build matches them - post and beam sizing, footing depth, roof attachment method
Keeping the site safe, tidy and compliant




Liaising with the office and the client on site - flagging issues early, not after they've become expensive
Mentoring less experienced carpenters and labourers on your crew
What you need
Cert III in Carpentry (trade qualified)
Minimum 3 years' experience specifically in decking and pergola construction
White Card
Your own tools
A current driver's licence and reliable transport
Proven ability to run a small crew - not just work in one
Someone who takes pride in the finish, not just getting it done
What's on offer
$*****/hr, based on experience
Full-time, steady work - we've got a robust pipeline of jobs, not gaps between them
A genuine leading hand role with real responsibility, not just a title
Room to grow as the business grows
