Remedial Builder - Construction & Maintenance Main on Construction and Maintenance – Sydney CBD NSW

We are seeking an experienced and

hands-on

Remedial Builder to join our growing team delivering remedial construction, defect rectification, waterproofing, wet area remediation, maintenance, and building repair works throughout Sydney.

This is not a site-based project management role. We are looking for a practical, solution-focused builder who enjoys being on the tools, working across multiple sites, investigating building issues, diagnosing defects, and carrying out remedial repairs.

No two days are the same in this role. Rather than being located on a single construction site, you will work across a variety of residential, commercial, and strata properties throughout Sydney, attending different locations, investigating issues, diagnosing defects, and delivering practical remedial solutions.

You will attend sites to inspect and investigate building defects, water ingress issues, and maintenance concerns, identify the root cause of failures, and implement effective long-term remedial solutions. The role combines technical building knowledge, fault-finding and diagnostic skills, customer interaction, and hands-on construction experience.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys problem-solving, variety in their workday, working independently, and taking ownership of projects from diagnosis through to repair and completion.
