Job description

Build complete projects. Take ownership. Progress into Site Foreman.

Sick of jumping between jobs, doing small sections of work and never seeing a project through?

We build residential projects ranging from dual occupancies to multi-residential townhouse developments. You'll have the opportunity to work across builds from early stages through to completion, see the results of your work and take on more responsibility as you grow.

And if your goal is to become a Site Foreman, there's a pathway to get there.

What you'll be doing

• Carrying out quality carpentry across residential builds, from framing through to fix and completion.

• Reading and interpreting plans and working to project requirements.

• Coordinating with other trades to keep work flowing and avoid unnecessary delays.

• Taking ownership of your work, maintaining quality and keeping the site organised.

• Building your understanding of site workflow, sequencing and job management.

• Taking on more responsibility as your skills and experience develop.

What's in it for you?

• Work across complete residential projects, from dual occupancies to townhouse developments.

• A consistent pipeline of residential construction work.

• The chance to develop your skills beyond the tools.

• A clear pathway towards a Site Foreman role for someone who earns it.

• Work alongside experienced operators in a team that values quality and getting the job done properly.

• A long-term opportunity to grow with the business.

What we're looking for

• A qualified carpenter or someone with strong, relevant residential carpentry experience.

• Someone who can read plans, work through tasks independently and maintain a high standard of workmanship.

• A reliable operator who turns up, communicates and follows through.

• Someone who works well with other trades and understands the importance of keeping a job moving.

• An interest in taking on more responsibility and progressing into site leadership.

Where this can take you

If you want to keep building your carpentry skills, there's plenty of work to get stuck into.

If you want to step up, we'll give you the opportunity to learn more about running a site, coordinating trades, managing workflow and leading a team as you prove yourself.

We’re looking for someone who wants to build more than just the next job.
