Job summary

Lavish Constructions builds high-end custom homes across Toowoomba and the surrounding region. No two of our projects are the same, and that's deliberate. We take on the work other builders find too complicated, and we finish it to a level our clients talk about for years.

That only happens because of the people on site. We've built a team that takes genuine pride in the work, communicates properly, and holds a high standard every single day - not just when someone's watching.

Qualifications

• Minimum five years as a qualified carpenter.
• Experience in custom residential building, not volume homes.
• Ability to read and interpret detailed plans and specifications.
• Proven track record leading a site team and coordinating subcontractors.
• Excellent communication with team, office and clients on site.
• Solid understanding of NCC, QLD building standards and site safety obligations.
• Own tools, current driver's licence and a valid White Card.

Responsibilities

• Running your own site - planning the work, sequencing the trades, keeping the program on track
• Leading carpenters, apprentices and subbies, and setting the tone for how the site operates
• Reading and interpreting plans, specs and detailed custom drawings, and picking up the issues before they become problems
• Working through complex and bespoke details alongside our construction manager and project team
• Ordering materials and managing what lands on site and when
• Holding the line on quality, safety and site presentation
• Keeping site records up to date in our job management system
• Bringing apprentices along properly and passing on what you know

Genuinely interesting work - architectural and custom builds, not the same floor plan four streets over

A steady pipeline of work and a business that's growing, not scraping for the next job

A team that backs you when a detail needs solving, rather than leaving you to it

Ongoing training and development, and a clear path to grow with the business

Direct access to the decision makers - no layers of management between you and the answer you need
