Job Description

Carpenter Wanted – (Civil Projects + Variety)


Like big jobs? Solid crews? And a bit of everything to keep things interesting?


We’re looking for experienced Carpenters to jump into a strong pipeline of civil work, with a mix of residential and commercial projects across New Zealand.


So if you’re just as comfortable on formwork and structural jobs as you are on a tidy finish — you’ll fit right in.


What’s in it for you?


You’ll be part of a crew that gets stuck into proper civil projects — think formwork, concrete prep, structural work — with enough variety to keep things from getting boring.


One day you’re on-site with the big gear, the next you’re knocking out clean finishing work.


Not a bad way to earn a living.


What you’ll be doing:


  • Civil carpentry – formwork, shuttering, concrete prep & structural work
  • Residential & commercial jobs to mix it up
  • 1st, 2nd & final fix (yep, the full run)
  • Reading plans without needing your hand held
  • Building, installing & fixing joinery
  • Framing, cladding, roofing — the works
  • Shuttering & steel tying
  • Using tools properly (and safely — we like our crew in one piece)


What we’re after:


  • 3+ years’ experience swinging a hammer (civil experience = big bonus)
  • Trade qualified or know your stuff well enough to prove it
  • Own tools & transport (can’t build much without them)
  • Solid references
  • Actually shows up (you’d be surprised…)
  • Takes Health & Safety seriously
  • Can pass a drug test


Why you’ll want this job:


  • $30–$35/hr depending on your skills
  • 30+ hours a week — no guessing games
  • Plenty of civil work locked in
  • Good mix of projects so you don’t go stale
  • A team that’s got your back (not just when things go wrong)


Sound like you?


Hit apply and let’s get you on-site.
