You will be working across completed residential townhouse developments, identifying and rectifying defects and completing general carpentry maintenance to ensure each townhouse is finished to a high standard.

• Multiple projects across the Ipswich–Logan corridor
• Consistent work across large-scale townhouse developments
• Predominantly on-the-tools position
• Genuine career progression into a Finishes Foreman role, overseeing multiple maintenance carpenters

The successful candidate will initially complete a 1–2 week trial period on a labour hire arrangement through Core Talent.

Following a successful trial period, you will transition directly into full-time employment with our client.

If you're an experienced Carpenter who takes pride in quality workmanship, attention to detail and getting the job done right, this is a great opportunity to secure a long-term position with a growing residential developer while having a clear pathway into a Finishes Foreman position.
