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.
