We're open to either a qualified carpenter or someone who isn't formally qualified but has genuine hands-on construction experience and knows their way around a job site.
n
The Work
n
The majority of the role will involve:
n
n
- Concrete sleeper retaining walls
n
- Timber retaining walls
n
- Removal and replacement of existing retaining walls
n
- Excavation, post holes and site preparation
n
- Drainage and backfilling
n
- Timber, Colorbond and aluminium fencing
n
n
You'll also work across:
n
n
- Decks
n
- Pergolas and patios
n
- Sheds, carports and garages
n
- General carpentry and outdoor construction
n
n
This isn't a basic labouring position. We're looking for someone who can work productively on the tools, think ahead and take ownership of their part of the job.
n
Who We're Looking For
n
You may be a qualified carpenter, or you might be an experienced TA / construction worker without the formal qualification.
n
Either way, we're more interested in what you can actually do.
n
Ideally you'll have experience in some combination of retaining walls, fencing,
landscaping, carpentry, concreting, excavation or general residential construction.
n
You should be:
n
n
- Confident using construction and power tools
n
- Able to work from measurements and levels
n
- Comfortable with physically demanding work
n
- Able to work independently once given direction
n
- Reliable and organised
n
- Comfortable working as part of a small crew
n
- Someone who takes pride in the finished product
n
n
Experience operating an excavator, skid steer or other earthmoving equipment would be highly regarded.
n
Prospect to Step Up
n
For the right person, there is an opportunity to develop into a Leading Hand role.
n
That means helping run the physical day-to-day works onsite, coordinating the crew and materials, keeping jobs moving and working closely with the business owner who manages the overall project and supervision.
n
We're looking for someone who wants more responsibility as the business grows — not someone who needs to be told what to do every five minutes.
n
Requirements
n
n
- Construction industry experience
n
- White Card
n
- Current director's licence and reliable transport
n
- Own basic hand tools preferred
n
- Strong work ethic and reliability
n
- Ability to work outdoors and undertake physical work
n
n
Carpentry or landscaping qualifications are advantageous but NOT essential for an experienced candidate.
n
What We Offer
n
n
- Consistent local work
n
- Predominantly Moreton Bay & North Brisbane projects
n
- Small crew environment
n
- Variety of outdoor construction work
n
- Opportunity to progress into a Leading Hand position
n
- Growing retaining wall and outdoor construction division
n
- Competitive Remuneration based on experience and capability

If you're a carpenter looking for something different from repetitive house framing, or an experienced TA who's capable of more than your current role allows, we'd like to hear from you.
