Job Description

Are you a skilled carpenter who takes real pride in precision, detail and doing things properly?

n

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.

n

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 n

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.

n

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.

n

Our projects are design-led and technically rigorous, requiring careful planning, precision and consistently high-quality execution.

The Role n

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.

n

This is not a “just get it done” environment, we expect you to think, plan, and take ownership of your work.

n
- Deliver high-quality carpentry in office
n
- Read and interpret detailed architectural drawings
n
- Coordinate tasks and sequencing with the site team
n
- Maintain strict quality control across all work

n
- Identify issues early and drive practical solutions
n
- Maintain clean, organised and efficient sites

What We’re Looking For nn
- Qualified carpenter with 3+ years post-apprenticeship experience
n
- Strong experience in architectural residential construction
n
- High attention to detail and pride in workmanship
n
- Ability to work independently and take ownership
n
- Reliable, professional and team-oriented
n
- White Card, driver’s licence, own tools and vehicle
n

Nice to have: nn
- Experience with high-performance / Passive House construction
n
- First Aid certification
n

Why Join HONE nn
- Work on architectural Passive House projects, not standard builds
n
- Be part of a tight-knit, high-performing team
n
- Build in an environment where quality and considered delivery are prioritised over shortcuts
n
- Supportive leadership and strong site culture
n
- Varied and technically interesting work
n
- Weekly pay
n

Who This Is For (and isn’t for) n

This role suits someone who:

n

n
- Cares about getting things right, not just getting them done
n
- Wants to improve their craft and work on better projects
n
- Takes ownership and responsibility on-site
n

n

This won’t suit someone looking for:

n

n
- Volume building or repetitive work
n
- An environment where standards and accountability are secondary
n

n

You must be an Australian Citizen, Permanent Resident or have full working rights.
