Leading Hand Carpenter / Site Supervisor in Training

About the Role

Mastery Co is seeking an experienced Leading Hand Carpenter to step into an onsite leadership role on a substantial alterations and additions project valued at $800,000–$850,000. This is a project-based contract, running for roughly 8–9 months.

This is more than a carpentry role it's a genuine mentoring pathway toward your Supervisor's Licence, with hands-on experience you won't find anywhere else in the industry.

As a Design + Construct firm, we've produced all the plans, documentation, 3D models, and approvals for this project in-house. You'll work directly from a detailed 3D model and cutting list, giving you rare visibility into the accuracy, efficiency, and "back of house" systems that most tradespeople never get to see. It's a genuine opportunity to understand both sides of a project - the build, and the design and organisation behind it.

- Working full-time on the tools as Leading Carpenter, driving day-to-day construction
- Supervising and coordinating subcontractors to keep the project tracking to schedule
- Taking ownership of the project schedule and site progress
- Working directly from 3D models and cutting lists to execute carpentry and building elements with precision
- Being mentored directly by our Director, Mitch a licensed builder and qualified Building Designer
- Gaining documented supervisory experience that can be referenced for your future Supervisor's Licence application

What We Offer
