Carpenters — No Two Days the Same

Family-run. Three generations of it. Repairs one morning, a heritage job the next, a fit-out after that — genuinely varied work across Geelong, the Surf Coast, the Bellarine and Golden Plains. We're not after just anybody: we read every application ourselves, so it's worth doing properly.

WHY JFM

What's actually on offer

Genuinely, no two days the same

Repairs, renovations, fit-outs, heritage work — across Geelong, the Surf Coast, the Bellarine and Golden Plains. If you're sick of the same site for six months, this is built to be the opposite.

Ute, tools and PPE sorted

Company ute and fuel card, all PPE and specialty tools supplied, uniform provided. Bring your trade and your hand tools — we'll sort the rest.

Straight hours, home every night

Full-time, above-award pay, Monday to Friday, straight 8-hour days, every week. No on-call, no after-hours roster, and a 2-week Christmas shutdown every year.

THE WORK

What the job actually involves

You'll interpret plans and specs, measure, cut, shape and assemble timber and materials, and keep a safe, clean site on every job. Often you're the only tradesperson a client meets, so the standard you leave a job at is the standard JFM is known for — and you're trusted to spot extra work worth doing and raise it, not just execute a fixed scope and leave.

BEFORE YOU APPLY

We're Not After Just Anybody

This isn't a tick-a-box form. A couple of the questions below take real effort to answer properly — that's deliberate. If you're a trade-qualified carpenter after genuinely varied work and you're serious about it, ten honest minutes is nothing. If you're after the fastest possible application, this probably isn't the role for you.
