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.
