The company
Join a young, design-led architectural builder that’s been operating for almost 10 years. They deliver premium new builds and high-end renovations with a strong focus on finish, detail and a good on-site culture.

What’s on Offer:
  • Premium architectural projects up to $5m in the Inner North
  • On-the-tools leadership role with real backing from a Director / PM
  • Clear progression pathway into Site Supervisor / Site Manager for the right person
  • Stable pipeline, tight crew, good culture and quality-first builds

The Role
This is a hands-on Leading Hand / Foreman position where you’ll be on the tools while still running the day-to-day site. You’ll lead a small carpentry crew and coordinate trades, with direct support from a Director / PM to help keep the job moving and remove roadblocks.

You’ll suit this if you’re a strong carpenter who naturally leads from the front, keeps standards high, and can drive a programme without needing a big team around you.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead a small carpentry crew on architectural builds and renovations
  • Hands-on carpentry across key stages of the build
  • Day-to-day site leadership: safety, quality and workflow
  • Coordinate subcontractors and deliveries with the Director / PM
  • Read plans, set out works, manage defects and maintain high finish
  • Keep the site organised, productive and presentable
  • Help mentor apprentices and junior carpenters

About You:
  • Proven experience as a Leading Hand / Foreman Carpenter (or ready to step up)
  • Strong background in high-end new builds and/or renovations
  • Comfortable running small crews and coordinating trades
  • High standards for detail, finish and presentation
  • Reliable, level-headed, and confident communicating with clients/design teams
  • Trade qualified carpenter preferred

How to Apply:
If this role sounds like you, please apply by sending your CV to barry.odonovan@fecthrecruit.com.au or give Barry a call/text on 0426 442 366 for a confidential discussion - after hours and weekend texts are fine.
