Carpenter — Custom Residential Homes

You'll take ownership of a site from start to finish. That means leading the carpentry works, coordinating the trades around you, keeping the job moving, and setting the standard for everyone on the tools.

Key responsibilities

Running your own site - planning the work, sequencing the trades, keeping the program on track

Leading carpenters, apprentices and subbies, and setting the tone for how the site operates

Reading and interpreting plans, specs and detailed custom drawings, and picking up the issues before they become problems

Working through complex and bespoke details alongside our construction manager and project team

Ordering materials and managing what lands on site and when

Holding the line on quality, safety and site presentation

Keeping site records up to date in our job management system

Bringing apprentices along properly and passing on what you know

About you

Minimum five years out of your time as a qualified carpenter

Genuine experience in custom residential building, not volume or project homes

The confidence and judgement to make decisions on site without waiting to be told

Strong ability to read and interpret detailed plans and specifications

A proven track record leading a site team and coordinating subcontractors

Excellent communication - with your team, with the office, and with clients when they're on site

Solid understanding of the NCC, QLD building standards and site safety obligations

Own tools, current driver's licence and a valid White Card

About us

Lavish Constructions builds high-end custom homes across Toowoomba and the surrounding region. No two of our projects are the same, and that's deliberate. We take on the work other builders find too complicated, and we finish it to a level our clients talk about for years. That only happens because of the people on site. We've built a team that takes genuine pride in the work, communicates properly, and holds a high standard every single day - not just when someone's watching.

Above-award pay that reflects what you actually bring to the job + Fuel Card and ongoing support

Genuinely interesting work - architectural and custom builds, not the same floor plan four streets over

A steady pipeline of work and a business that's growing, not scraping for the next job

A team that backs you when a detail needs solving, rather than leaving you to it

Ongoing training and development, and a clear path to grow with the business

Direct access to the decision makers - no layers of management between you and the answer you need
