The Chance
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
good, 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.
