Carpenters Wanted – Queenstown & Central Otago
Ready to take your carpentry skills to new heights?
We’re on the lookout for experienced Carpenters keen to get stuck into a wide range of exciting projects across Queenstown and the Central Otago region.
If you know your way around a toolbox and thrive on variety — from high-end residential builds to commercial carpentry and civil construction — we want to hear from you!

Why Queenstown?
Queenstown isn’t just a place to work — it’s a place to live, build, and thrive.
From luxury architectural homes and boutique lodges to large-scale developments shaping the region’s future, the building scene here is booming.
Imagine working on projects surrounded by mountain views, lakes, and a vibrant community that values craftsmanship and quality.
Whether you’re local or ready for a change of scenery, this is your chance to combine your trade with the best lifestyle in New Zealand.

Here’s What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll need to be confident with:
  • Residential, commercial, and civil carpentry
  • 1st, 2nd, and final fix work
  • Reading and working from plans/specs
  • Shuttering joinery and steel tying
  • Framing, subflooring, cladding, and roofing
  • Concrete formwork (big bonus!)
No two days will be the same — you could be working on high-end alpine homes one week and commercial fit-outs or infrastructure projects the next.
What We’re Looking For
  • 3+ years’ solid experience on the tools
  • Trade qualified (preferred but not essential if experience meets requirements)
  • Own hand and power tools
  • Reliable transport to get to worksites around Queenstown and Central Otago
  • Two solid work references
  • Strong commitment to Health & Safety
  • Able to pass a pre-employment drug test
What’s in It for You
  • $30–$35 per hour (depending on experience)
  • Guaranteed 30+ hours per week
  • Ongoing, long-term work on a variety of projects
  • Opportunities to work on architectural builds, commercial sites, and regional developments
  • Backed by a supportive recruitment team who have your back
  • Enjoy steady work while living in one of the most scenic places on earth
