Geelong, Victoria, Australia Local Plumbing Group Full time
Maintenance Carpenter – Bathroom & Building Repairs | Geelong
The Opportunity

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.


Key Responsibilities
  • 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

What We're Looking For
  • 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)

What We Offer
  • 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
