Are you a skilled carpenter who takes real pride in precision, detail and doing things properly?
At HONE, we build high-performance architectural homes to Passive House standards.
This isn't volume work, it's considered, technical construction where quality matters and shortcuts don't exist.
We're looking for an experienced architectural carpenter who wants to step into a team that genuinely cares about craft, performance and continuous improvement.
About HONE
HONE is a Melbourne-based, family-owned construction company specialising in architectural Passive House homes.
We build a small number of projects each year, allowing us to maintain a high level of quality and attention to detail.
We're also a Certified B Corp, meaning we're committed to using business as a force for good; environmentally, socially and within our industry.
Our projects are design-led and technically rigorous, requiring careful planning, precision and consistently high-quality execution.
The Role
You'll play a key role on-site delivering high-quality architectural homes, working closely with our site teams to ensure every detail is executed to a high standard.
This is not a "just get it done" environment, we expect you to think, plan, and take ownership of your work.
What You'll Be Doing
Deliver high-quality carpentry on-site
Read and interpret detailed architectural drawings
Coordinate tasks and sequencing with the site team
Maintain strict quality control across all work
Ensure compliance with building codes and safety standards
Mentor and guide apprentices where required
Identify issues early and drive practical solutions
Maintain clean, organised and efficient sites
What We're Looking For
Qualified carpenter with 3+ years post-apprenticeship experience
Strong experience in architectural residential construction
High attention to detail and pride in workmanship
Ability to work independently and take ownership
Reliable, professional and team-oriented
White Card, driver's licence, own tools and vehicle
Nice to have:
Experience with high-performance / Passive House construction
First Aid certification
Why Join HONE
Work on architectural Passive House projects, not standard builds
Be part of a tight-knit, high-performing team
Build in an workplace where quality and considered delivery are prioritised over shortcuts
Supportive leadership and strong site culture
Varied and technically interesting work
Weekly pay
Who This Is For (and isn't for)
This role suits someone who:
Cares about getting things right, not just getting them done
Wants to improve their craft and work on better projects
Takes ownership and responsibility on-site
This won't suit someone looking for:
Volume building or repetitive work
An environment where standards and accountability are secondary
You must be an Australian Citizen, Permanent Resident or have full working rights.
