The Opportunity

I’m working with an established head contractor delivering a $26m+ multi-storey hotel development in the Hunter Valley.

With structural works progressing, they are looking for an experienced Leading Hand Carpenter to join the site team from late September / early October.

This is a hands-on Leading Hand position working closely with an experienced Structures Foreman and Site Manager. You’ll still have the nail bag on while helping coordinate trades, labour and structural works across a fast-moving site.

The project consists of a multi-level hotel with suspended post-tensioned slabs, multiple deck construction and a rooftop pool/spa, with several work fronts operating concurrently.

The Role

- Hands-on Leading Hand Carpenter position
- Assist with delivery of the structural package
- Multi-deck construction and suspended slab works
- Post-tensioned concrete structure
- Coordinate trades and labour on the ground
- Assist with sequencing and day-to-day site planning
- Maintain quality and safety standards
- Work closely with the Structures Foreman and Site Manager
- Help keep multiple work fronts moving to programme

About You





This role needs someone who has already worked on multi-deck construction and understands the pace and sequencing involved. Someone coming purely from low-rise or residential carpentry will struggle with the complexity of the structure.

You will ideally have:

- Carpentry trade background
- Previous Leading Hand experience
- Multi-deck construction experience – essential
- Suspended / post-tensioned slab experience
- Commercial or multi-storey construction background
- Comfortable being hands-on while coordinating others
- Strong understanding of structural sequencing
- Forklift / Manitou ticket highly regarded
- White Card
- First Aid advantageous

You’ll be joining a positive, experienced project team with a Site Manager, Structures Foreman and Fitout Foreman already in place.

The initial project runs for approximately 17+ months, with additional works planned alongside the main development.
