Boston Built Pty Ltd | Arundel, Gold Coast QLD - $120,000 - $150,000 + Super | Full-Time | Long-Term Career Opportunity
- BUILD WITH BOSTON BUILT
Boston Built Pty Ltd is a fully integrated commercial builder and developer with a major pipeline of projects extending through to 2030 and beyond.
We're looking for an experienced, energetic and motivated Leading Hand Carpenter to join our growing construction team on our Arundel development comprising 115 industrial units.
This is not a role where you'll spend your days sitting in an office.
You'll be on the tools, leading from the front and working alongside your team every day.
We're looking for someone who knows how to get the best out of people, leads by example and genuinely enjoys being part of a team.
ABOUT THE ROLE
You'll be responsible for leading a team of up to 10 carpenters and construction workers, while remaining hands-on and working alongside them.
Your responsibilities will include
- Leading and coordinating a team of up to 10
- Planning daily works and allocating tasks
- Working on the tools alongside your team
- Driving productivity and maintaining high standards
- Motivating and supporting your team
- Coordinating with our construction management team
- Working closely with our formwork, steel fixing, concreting, panel and crane crews
- Maintaining quality and attention to detail
- Ensuring safe work practices are followed
- Reading plans and working to construction schedules
- Identifying issues early and working with management to resolve them
- Helping build a positive, productive and enjoyable site culture
- YOUR EXPERIENCE
We're particularly interested in carpenters with experience in
- Pre-cast concrete panel manufacturing
- Formwork
- Commercial construction
- Structural carpentry
- Leading teams
- Working in fast-paced construction environments
Experience in pre-cast panel manufacturing and formwork will be highly regarded, but we're ultimately looking for the right person with the right attitude and leadership ability.
WE WANT A LEADER — NOT JUST A SUPERVISOR
The successful candidate will be
- Friendly and approachable
- Energetic
- Positive
- Reliable
- Proactive
- A natural leader
- Confident managing people
- Able to motivate a team
- Willing to get stuck in and lead by example
- Someone who genuinely cares about the people around them
You'll be leading a team of up to 10 people, so communication and leadership are critical.
We want someone who can bring people with them — not someone who simply tells people what to do.
THE BOSTON BUILT DIFFERENCE
This is where we believe we're different.
Boston Built is a fully integrated commercial builder and developer. We don't just manage subcontractors — we have built our own internal construction teams.
Our in-house teams include
- Form Workers
- Steel Fixers
- Concreters
- Pre-cast Panel Crew
- Crane Crew
- Carpenters
You'll be joining a team where everyone works together.
We work for each other.
We support each other.
We look after each other.
No one gets left on their own.
Our culture is genuinely team first, and we want people who share that mindset.
WHAT WE OFFER
UP TO $150,000 + Super | Full-Time
Along with a great salary package, you'll get
- Long-term job security – projects through to 2030
- Genuine career progression opportunities
- A huge pipeline of future projects
- Strong management and site support
- A genuine team-first culture
- Fully equipped sites
- All you need is your nail bag — we've got the rest
- Exposure to a wide variety of commercial projects
- A supportive environment where your success matters
- Opportunity to develop into more senior leadership roles
- THIS IS A HANDS-ON LEADERSHIP ROLE
If you're looking to get completely off the tools, this isn't that job.
You'll still be building, working and leading from the tools, but you'll also have the responsibility and opportunity to develop your leadership skills and take your career to the next level.
We're looking for someone who wants to become a key part of the Boston Built construction team and grow with the business.
With our project pipeline extending through 2030, the opportunity for the right person is significant.
YOUR FUTURE WITH BOSTON BUILT
We don't want you to simply come in, complete a project and move on.
We want to find someone who wants to build a career with us.
As Boston Built continues to grow, there will be opportunities to progress into more senior positions across our construction operations.
If you're ambitious, hardworking, positive and want to be part of something bigger, we want to hear from you.
