Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia M and J Marine Services Full time $80,000 - $90,000 per year
Expression of Interest – Bridge & Wharf Carpenters (Marine Construction)

M&J Marine Services | Port Stephens, NSW

Full-time & Casual Opportunities | $40 – $45 per hour


About Us

We're M&J Marine Services, a family-owned marine and civil construction contractor based in Port Stephens. Since 2018, we've been building and maintaining NSW's waterfronts — from private jetties and pontoons to piling, formwork, and structural repairs on marine and coastal assets.

We're known for taking on jobs that most walk past — the kind that demand skill, pride, and a bit of old-fashioned problem-solving.

Our values are simple:

  • Quality – Do it once, do it right.
  • Integrity – Be upfront and accountable.
  • Respect – For clients, your crew, and yourself.
  • Solutions – Find a way, even when it's not in the manual.

We're building up our crew for upcoming residential and small civil marine projects through summer and beyond — and we're looking for carpenters with the right skills and mindset to join the team.


About the Role

We're chasing qualified Carpenters (especially those with bridge and wharf, formwork, or marine carpentry backgrounds) to join our marine construction crew.

You'll be working across:

  • Jetty and pontoon builds
  • Marine piling
  • Formwork and concrete work
  • Timber, steel, and composite installation
  • Repairs and maintenance of marine structures

It's hands-on work, outdoors, and team-focused — perfect for tradespeople who like to see what they've built standing proud at the end of the job.


About You

You'll be right for this if you:

  • Are a qualified Carpenter or have experience in bridge/wharf carpentry, formwork, or marine construction
  • Enjoy hands-on work and practical problem-solving
  • Are reliable, safety-minded, and take pride in your workmanship
  • Don't mind early starts and travel within NSW
  • Hold a White Card and Driver's Licence

  • Bonus if you've got or are working toward:

  • Dogging or Rigging ticket

  • Coxswain Grade 2 (or higher)
  • HR Licence
  • C6 Crane

Why Work With Us
  • Variety – Every project's different — from residential jetties to civil infrastructure.
  • Growth – Training, ticket support, and a chance to learn the marine side of construction.
  • Culture – No egos, just good people who get the job done.
  • Standards – We take pride in doing things properly — safety and quality first.
  • Pay – Competitive rates under the Building & Construction General On-site Award ($40–$45/hr + super).

How to Apply

If this sounds like your kind of crew, send your resume to:

In your email, include:

  • The role you're chasing (Carpenter / Marine Construction)
  • When you're available (now or later in the year)
  • Any tickets or relevant experience

Extra Step – Show You're Paying Attention:

In a couple of sentences, tell us about a job you're proud of — something you built, repaired, or helped pull together that still makes you nod when you think of it.

(Applications without this step won't be considered — we want people who actually read the ad.)
