Job description

Kascon is a Canberra builder specialising in high-end architectural homes, quality multi-residential developments and commercial fitouts across the inner suburbs. We're a tight-knit, hands-on team that takes genuine pride in craftsmanship — and we run our own joinery shop, which means the work we deliver (and the work you'll do) goes well beyond standard carpentry.

About the Role

This is a varied, hands-on senior carpentry position for a tradesperson who can genuinely do it all. One week you might be setting out and installing cladding on an architecturally designed residence; the next, fabricating and fitting custom cabinetry through our in-house joinery shop. High-end architectural work demands an eye for detail, and that's exactly what we're after — someone who notices a 2mm gap and can't leave it alone.

Your responsibilities will include:

All aspects of carpentry on architectural residential and commercial projects

Fabrication and installation of custom cabinetry and joinery

Structural and general carpentry tasks across our active jobs

Reading and working from architectural drawings and joinery shop drawings

Setting out work to fine tolerances and holding the finish standard our clients expect

Mentoring apprentices and junior team members as a senior trade on site

Working closely with site management to plan and sequence works

About You

Trade-qualified carpenter (Cert III in Carpentry or equivalent) with post-qualification experience

Demonstrated cabinetry/joinery capability — you can build it, not just install it

A sharp eye for detail and genuine pride in your finish

Experience on high-end residential or architectural projects highly regarded

Energy, drive and a strong work ethic — we're a hard-working crew and we back each other

Hungry to grow, take on responsibility and be challenged — this is not a role for someone looking for the easy route

White card, driver's licence and own hand tools

Why Kascon

You'll work on interesting projects in Canberra — the kind of architectural builds that demand craftsmanship and reward it. You'll get variety most carpenters never see, moving between site work across the project cycle and custom joinery fabrication in our own shop. And you'll join an energetic, ambitious team on the way up: a no-passengers culture where performance is noticed, responsibility comes fast, and you'll have a genuine say in how we do things.
