Job Description

Future Leading Hand Carpenter / Site Supervisor in Training

n

Mastery Co is seeking a Leading Hand Carpenter to step into a full-time, entry-level leadership role in Newcastle, working across alterations and additions projects valued between $500,000–$1,000,000.

n

This is more than a carpentry role — it's a genuine mentoring pathway toward your Supervisor's Licence, with hands-on experience you won't find anywhere else in the industry.

n

As a Design + Construct firm, we produce all the plans, documentation, 3D models, and approvals for our projects in-house. You'll work directly from detailed 3D models and cutting lists, giving you rare visibility into the accuracy, efficiency, and "back of house" systems that most tradespeople never get to see. It's a genuine opportunity to understand both sides of a project — the build, and the design and organisation behind it.
