Qualified Carpenter & Apprentice Carpenter

About the role

Built By Barling is seeking skilled Qualified Carpenters and Apprentice Carpenters to join our family-owned, values-driven team. We respect the trade, and we’re creating a place where good people can do great work, enjoy the process, and grow on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. As a full-time position, you will play a vital role in the construction and maintenance of high-quality residential and commercial projects across the Sunshine Coast region.

The Role

• Maintain a high standard of detail, finish, and site pride — every job, every day
• Mentor apprentices and contribute to a positive site culture
• Work on projects we manage from the ground up
• Working only on local Sunshine Coast & surrounding regions

Why You’ll Want In

There’s no shortage of carpentry jobs out there — we get it. But here’s what makes Built by Barling worth showing up for:

• Premium projects, not patch jobs

We don’t do quick fixes or shortcuts. You’ll be working on new builds, architectural renos, commercial tenancies and top-tier decks you’ll actually be proud to put your name on.

• Real growth, mapped out

Whether you want to lead a crew, mentor apprentices, or eventually manage jobs, we’ll support your progression with clear steps and solid guidance.

• A team you want to be part of

From on-site culture to Friday knock-offs, social gatherings and crew days — we’ve built a crew that backs each other, shows up, and enjoys the ride.

• Led by tradies, not suits

Husband-and-wife team Trent & Hope are hands-on, straight up, and serious about building a company where good humans can thrive.

Who You Are

• A qualified carpenter (Cert III) with previous experience & Apprenticeship opportunity — no experience necessary (all training provided)

• Back yourself and your work — you’re confident on the tools and care about the result

• Keen to be part of a crew where culture matters as much as capability

• Looking to build a career, not just clock hours

• Hold a White Card, Driver’s Licence, and have your own tools
