Carpenter Christchurch

Christchurch Central, New Zealand Kirimana Full time

2026 is lining up to be big. We're building the team now.

We're working with multiple Christchurch-based companies that have confirmed residential and commercial projects locked in for 2026. Rather than waiting until sites are underway, we're looking to secure good carpenters early.

What we're looking for:

  • Qualified carpenter with 4+ years' experience in NZ construction
  • Strong all-round skills across residential builds (new builds, renovations, fit-outs)
  • Pride in workmanship and attention to detail
  • Comfortable working independently, while valuing being part of a team
  • Reliable, proactive, and keen to keep developing your craft
  • Positive attitude — no heroes, no drama

What you'll get:

  • Consistent, long-term work with a healthy forward workload
  • Well-organised sites and realistic programmes
  • Employers who back quality over cutting corners
  • Opportunities to upskill and step up as projects grow
  • Competitive pay based on experience
  • Christchurch-based work — home most nights, weekends still yours

If 2026 feels like the year for a change — whether that's soon or later — we'd like to hear from you.

You're welcome to register your interest now, including over the Christmas break, and we'll be in touch in the New Year.
