Job Description

Skilled Labourer - Retractable Screen Installer

n

Good with your hands, and sick of labouring with no way up?

n

Freedom Retractable Screens makes and installs Australian-made retractable fly screens for homes across Melbourne - a lot of them high-end builds where the screen has to disappear into a bifold, stacker or cavity door and the finish has to be perfect. We manufacture in Carrum Downs and install everywhere.

n

We're hiring someone to join our installation team and learn the trade properly. You don't need a qualification and you don't need to have seen a retractable screen up close. You need to be handy, reliable, fit, and the kind of person who cares whether the job looks right. We'll teach you the rest - paid, on the job, from day one.

n

Freedom Retractable Screens Victoria & SA is a leader in retrofit retractable screens, with over 70 years' combined experience across the team, and our products are Australian-made. The factory is in Carrum Downs, with showrooms also in Richmond and Torquay. We've grown every year for ten years and have more work booked than ever.

n

What you'll do

n

Install retractable screens on finished homes and current builds - several jobs a day, planned and booked for you, mostly Melbourne metro.

n

You'll pick up real skills: precise measuring, fitting and adjusting, the carpentry side of installs - rebating tracks into floors, sills and thresholds - and how to leave a finished home cleaner than you found it.

n

Deal directly with homeowners, builders and architects.

n

Assist on, then run, the larger multi-screen integrations, with a second installer working with you.

n

Assess and repair damaged screens on service calls.

n





Look after your car, tools and job records. On site, you're the business.

n

What you get

n

$30-35 per hour plus super, where you start in that range depending on what you bring - and it moves up as you tick off milestones, not just birthdays.

n

Overtime paid on top when you work it - this is not a salary that swallows your hours.

n

Take-home company car, fuel card and power tools supplied.

n

Regional Victoria and occasional interstate work is part of the job - planned in advance, with travel and accommodation covered.

n

Options for flexible working arrangements.

n

Permanent full-time role with a manufacturer that's grown every year for ten years - this job exists because we have more work booked than ever.

n

A small team where you deal directly with the director, and a lead installer who actually teaches.

n

Regular team functions & activities.

n

Uniform and training all supplied and paid for - including the tickets you need.

n

Who we're after

n

Must have:

n

n
- Physically able to do the work: ladders, kneeling, and lifting.
n
- Full driver's licence.
n
- White Card (Construction Induction).
n
- Competent with hand and power tools.
n
- Reliable, presentable and comfortable talking to homeowners and builders - you'll be in people's homes every day.
n

n

Good to have:

n

n
- Time as a carpenter's labourer, trades assistant or on residential sites.
n
- Blinds, awnings, security doors, or window installation.
n
- Shopfitting, cabinet-making assistance, fencing or decking work.
n

n

None of those? If you're handy and keen, apply anyway and tell us why.

n

No retractable-screen experience needed. We train the product in your first weeks.
