LEADING HAND CARPENTER

Build with purpose. Lead with care.

We’re looking for a Leading Hand Carpenter who takes pride in their craft and wants to be part of a team that genuinely cares — about the work, our clients, and the people we build with.

This role is ideal for someone ready to step into leadership on site, guide others by example, and contribute to building Healthy Homes that are thoughtfully planned, honestly executed, and built to last.

About the Role

As a Leading Hand Carpenter, you’ll play a key role on our sites, working across custom residential renovations and extensions. You’ll be hands-on with the tools while also supporting site flow, mentoring team members, and maintaining a high standard of workmanship throughout each stage of the build.

You’ll work closely with our Site Supervisors and Project Managers to ensure jobs run smoothly, safely, and with care — especially through complex structural and detail-driven stages.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Carrying out all aspects of carpentry across custom residential projects

• Leading by example on site, maintaining quality, pace, and professionalism

• Guiding apprentices and carpenters, supporting workflow and coordination

• Reading and interpreting plans, details, and site documentation

• Maintaining clean, organised, and safe work sites

• Supporting the delivery of well-built, considered homes — not rushed finishes

What We’re Looking For

You’ll be a great fit if you:

• Hold a Certificate III in Carpentry

• Have solid experience across all aspects of custom residential carpentry

• Take pride in doing things properly — even when no one is watching

• Are confident stepping into a leadership role on site

• Communicate clearly and respectfully with team members and supervisors

• Own all necessary personal tools and have a work-appropriate vehicle

A keen interest or knowledge in healthy / high-performance building principles is a big bonus — this is what we live and breathe at AGATHĒ.

Why Work With Us

We believe great homes are built by people who feel supported, respected, and clear on what they’re working towards.

At AGATHĒ, you’ll find:

• A team that genuinely cares about you and our clients

• Projects that value planning, structure, and quality over shortcuts

• Opportunities to grow into further leadership roles

• Ongoing learning and exposure to healthier building methods

• A calm, professional site culture where standards matter

This is more than just a job — it’s a chance to build a long-term career with a company that’s intentional about how and why we build.

Career Development

We’re committed to supporting people who want to grow.

That may look like:

• Increased leadership responsibility on site

• Mentoring and developing younger team members

• Expanding your knowledge in healthy home construction

• Long-term progression within the AGATHĒ team

If you care about improving your craft and being part of something well run, you’ll feel at home here.
