Core Talent is currently recruiting for a Leading Hand Carpenter to join an established, award-winning construction company delivering high-end, architecturally designed residential projects up to $15M across the Southern Highlands.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Leading Hand looking to progress towards Foreman level, or a strong Carpenter who is ready to take the next step into leadership.

The Role
Working closely with the Site Manager, you will be involved in the day-to-day delivery of architecturally designed residential projects, including:

• Leading and working alongside Carpenters and Apprentices
• Coordinating subcontractors and trades on site
• Maintaining high standards of workmanship, finishes and quality
• Assisting with programming and day-to-day site coordination
• Reading and interpreting architectural drawings
• Supporting projects through the full construction lifecycle
• Communicating effectively with Site Managers, trades and the wider project team

About You
We are looking for someone who has:

• Cert III in Carpentry
• Experience within high-end / architecturally designed residential construction
• Exposure to projects from groundworks through to completion
• Experience supervising or mentoring Carpenters and Apprentices
• Strong understanding of construction sequencing and trade coordination
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
• High attention to detail and pride in workmanship
• Ambition to progress into a Foreman or Site Supervisor position

What's on Offer?

• Long-term projects across the Southern Highlands
• Work on complex, architecturally designed residential builds
• Established builder with a strong project pipeline
• Genuine progression into site supervision
• Support from experienced Site Managers and senior management
• Opportunity to build a long-term career rather than just move from project to project

If you're an experienced Leading Hand or Carpenter looking for more responsibility and a clear pathway into supervision, apply now or contact Jordan at Core Talent on 0401 036 340 for a confidential discussion.
