Carpenters | Queenstown

About the Role

‍Some builds become just another address. Others become part of the local community.

We're looking for experienced Carpenters to join a skilled construction team delivering the new Night 'n Day at Jacks Point, Queenstown. This is your chance to work on a high-profile commercial project while enjoying consistent hours, ongoing work, and the opportunity to showcase your craftsmanship on a build that locals and visitors will use every day.

You'll be involved from framing through to finishing work, working alongside experienced tradespeople who take pride in quality workmanship, support one another on site, and know that the best projects are built by great teams.

If you're looking for more than just another carpentry job and want to be part of a project you'll be proud to point out for years to come, we'd love to hear from you.
