About us

Koori Constructions is a carpentry and building company working across the Central Coast, Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and the Hunter. We handle all aspects of carpentry and building, including renovations, extensions, additions, granny flats and recent builds, across residential, commercial, government, health and defence work.

The role

We're growing and need a leading hand, a qualified carpenter or builder, who can run a job from site set-up to handover, on the tools, with a crew and trades behind you.

- Run each job start to finish: sequence the work, book the trades, hold the program and keep it moving when something goes wrong

- Brief subcontractors and hold them to our standard. Plasterers, tilers, electricians, plumbers and roofers answer to you on site

- Be on the tools. This is a working leading hand role, with carpentry most days

- Keep clients informed. They're often living in the house while we work, so tell them what's happening each week and flag changes early

- Keep the site tidy and safe every day

- Send a weekly photo update on each job

What we expect

- Jobs finish on the date we promised the client

- Handover with a clean defect list

- Problems flagged the day they appear

- Honest feedback on subcontractors

About you (essential)

- Qualified carpenter (Cert III in Carpentry) at minimum

- You read plans properly and pick up problems before they get built

- Good with people: crew, trades and clients

- White Card, current driver's licence and your own tools

Bonus points

- Qualified builder: builder's licence, Cert IV in Building & Construction or Diploma of Building & Construction

- Experience supervising renovations, bathrooms and extensions

What we offer

- $95,000–$130,000 + super, paid weekly

- Signwritten company ute and fuel card on completion of probation

- A steady pipeline of work booked ahead

- A real path to running your own crew as we grow

- A say in how jobs get run

- A secure full-time role with a growing local builder and a down-to-earth team
