Hawk Building & Design builds custom timber homes across the NSW South Coast. We’re a small crew that cares about doing the job properly, and we’re looking for a first year carpentry apprentice who wants to learn the trade the right way.

This isn’t a job for someone who just wants a pay cheque. You’ll start at the bottom, carting, cleaning up and learning how a site runs, and if you put the work in you’ll come out the other end a carpenter who can build anything.

What we need from you:

Full or P license and your own reliable car, as we work across different sites in the Shoalhaven.

You turn up early, every day, ready to go.

You can take feedback and actually use it.

You’re fit enough for a full day on the tools in all weather.

You want this as a career, not a stopgap.

Bonus points if you’ve done a pre‑apprenticeship, have your White Card,



or have held down a job or played a team sport and stuck with it through the hard bits.

What you get:

A real trade on quality custom builds, not production line work.

Training from a builder who designs and builds the whole house, so you learn more than just one stage.

Award wages plus TAFE, and eligible housing construction apprentices can receive the government’s $10,000 apprenticeship incentive on top of wages.

A small team where you’ll get proper attention and room to grow.

To apply: in your cover note, tell me the hardest thing you’ve ever stuck at and why you didn’t quit. Applications without this won’t be looked at.
