Melbourne's home-modification specialist is after a skilled, qualified Carpenter who is good at residential building. Work centres on constructing and fitting timber ramps, steps and accessibility upgrades for clients' homes. Hours are weekdays only, full time, on a subcontract basis, so weekends are yours, and each job helps older people and those with limited mobility stay safe at home. You will measure up, read the plans and adapt on the spot.
Subcontract carpenters win work on proof. Show your trade qualification, the ramps, decks or similar structures you have built, your ABN and your licence. Then build a carpenter CV with Build AI CV that a builder can read in moments, with your best projects first.
