About the Role
A growing rural accommodation and retreat property in the Gibbston Valley, seeking a capable, practical Carpenter to construct, repair and improve buildings, fixtures and outdoor structures across our property.
  
Responsibilities will include:

• Construct small buildings and outbuildings from the ground up, including sheds and similar structures.
• Repair and maintain existing buildings.
• Interpret structural drawings and engineers' plans where required.
• Complete footings, foundations and concrete pouring.
• Carry out general carpentry, structural and finishing work.
• Perform renovation and upgrading work on existing buildings.
• Build and repair decking.
• Repair doors and other building components.
• Undertake painting and general property maintenance.
• Build, repair and maintain fencing across the property.
• Assist with earthworks and site preparation where required.
• Use carpentry tools and equipment safely.
• Ideally operate diggers/excavators or other plant machinery, although this is considered beneficial rather than the core carpenter requirement.

Requirements:

• At least 5 years' strong all-round carpentry experience, covering both rough and finishing work.
• Able to understand construction/structural drawings.
• Comfortable working independently on relatively small building projects.
• Physically fit for lifting, shifting materials and hands-on construction work.
• Machinery/digger operation would be an advantage.
