Maintenance Carpenter

Local Maintenance Group is seeking a skilled Maintenance Carpenter with a strong background in bathroom renovations, water-damaged repairs, and detailed carpentry. This full-time role is perfect for someone who enjoys variety — from replacing water-damaged wall linings and rotten fascias, to fitting new doors, frames, and skirtings.

You'll be joining a close-knit, hands-on team that takes pride in delivering neat, reliable workmanship across residential and light commercial properties throughout Geelong and surrounds.

• Carry out general maintenance carpentry, including door and jamb replacements, fascia and eave repairs, skirting, architraves, and cabinetry adjustments
• Complete bathroom renovation works including water-damaged wall and floor replacements, wet area sheeting (Villaboard/Water-resistant plaster), and preparation for tiling
• Repair and replace external timberwork, including decking, weatherboards, and pergola components
• Diagnose structural or moisture-related issues and implement durable repair solutions
• Work closely with other trades (plumbing, electrical, plastering, painting) to ensure smooth project delivery
• Maintain accurate job notes and communicate progress through digital platforms
• Follow all safety procedures and maintain tidy, well-presented work areas

• 5+ years' experience in maintenance or renovation carpentry
• Strong background in domestic repair and renovation work — not new builds
• Confident with wet area repairs, bathroom refurbishments, and detailed finish carpentry
• Self-sufficient with excellent problem-solving and finishing skills
• Strong communicator with a professional, can-do attitude
• Current driver's licence and reliable vehicle (company vehicle options available)

• Competitive hourly rate or salary, depending on experience
• Consistent, year-round work across a wide range of residential jobs
• Supportive environment — we value quality over quantity
• Ongoing development and opportunities to expand your skillset
• All materials, tools, and uniforms provided
