  • Ensure safety and site presentation are maintained at all times.
  • Identify and troubleshoot issues early, working with the Supervisor to resolve them.
  • Communicate clearly with the Supervisor, team, clients, and suppliers.
  • Provide feedback on progress and flag risks or improvements.

What We're Looking For

  • Qualified carpenter (or equivalent trade).
  • 3–5 years' experience in a Leading Hand or senior trades role.
  • Solid knowledge of remedial and/or residential construction.
  • Strong eye for detail and commitment to quality workmanship.
  • Ability to motivate and support others while working as part of a team.
  • White Card and driver's licence essential.
  • Full kit of power tools & vehicle
  • Remedial experience is an advantage.

Why Join Engage Construction?

  • A steady pipeline of remedial and residential projects across Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.
  • A close-knit, respectful team where everyone pulls their weight.
  • Growth opportunities - we value initiative and reward accountability.
  • Competitive pay and recognition for the effort you put in.
