Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
  • Allocating and coordinating trades across residential projects
  • Scheduling trades and managing upcoming construction requirements
  • Communicating with subcontractors and suppliers
  • Monitoring construction progress and upcoming stages
  • Assisting Site Supervisors with the coordination of trades
  • Updating internal systems and construction schedules
  • Following up outstanding works and ensuring trades are booked at the right stage
  • General construction administration and coordination
  • Learning the processes involved in running residential projects from start to finish
About You

You'll ideally have:
  • Cert III in Carpentry
  • Cert IV in Carpentry commenced
  • Previous experience working as a Carpenter within residential construction
  • A good understanding of residential construction stages and trade sequencing
  • Strong communication and organisational skills
  • Good computer and administration skills
  • A willingness to learn the coordination and management side of construction
  • A genuine interest in progressing into Site Supervision
You don't need to have previous office or coordination experience -  the right trade background and attitude are more important.  This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is starting their career in construction after completing their apprenticeship.
