Orange New South Wales, Australia Ambrose Construct Group Pty Ltd Full time $60,000 - $90,000 per year

Ambrose Construct Group is expanding in the Dubbo & Western NSW region and we're looking for an experienced Lead Hand to support our regional operations.

This hybrid role is perfect for a skilled tradesperson looking to step up. Combining hands-on work with light supervision, make-safe repairs, subcontractor coordination and scoping support.

What you'll be doing

  • Carrying out minor repairs including carpentry, plastering, painting, and general maintenance.
  • Completing make-safe works quickly and effectively.
  • Coordinating small-scale repair jobs, ensuring they're delivered safely and on time.
  • Communicating with clients, suppliers, and trades on-site.
  • Supporting quoting and repair methodologies for insurance claims.
  • Ensuring all work meets Australian Standards, WHS and quality requirements.

About You

We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work and enjoys variety day-to-day. You will have:

  • Trade background - Cert III Carpentry or similar preferred.
  • Solid hands-on experience in maintenance or handyman repairs.
  • Valid NSW Driver's Licence & White Card.
  • Strong communication skills with a customer-focused approach.
  • Confidence working independently across regional locations.
  • Experience using tablets and job management systems.
  • Knowledge of building codes and WHS requirements.
  • Estimating or scoping experience is a bonus but not essential. We'll support the right person to learn and grow.

What's in it for you?

  • A secure role with a rapidly expanding national company.
  • Work across a diverse range of residential projects.
  • Opportunities to progress into supervision or estimating roles.
  • Supportive leadership and a great regional team culture.
  • Make a real impact improving repair efficiency and customer outcomes.

Physical Requirements

  • Comfortable with physically demanding tasks, working at heights and in confined spaces.
  • Lifting materials (e.g., timber, tiles) as required.
  • Frequent travel to job sites throughout the region.

Ready to take the next step?

If you're a capable tradesperson who enjoys taking ownership on site and wants to broaden your skillset, we'd love to hear from you.

Join Ambrose Construct Group and help shape the future of regional construction support in Western NSW.
