ABOUT US:
Urban Design Projects is an established construction and renovation company. We pride ourselves on high-quality residential and commercial structural upgrades and finishes. We are seeking a highly skilled, passionate, and precise Carpenter to join our team.
POSITION OVERVIEW:
We are looking for a reliable Carpenter who is highly experienced with on-site renovation work. You will be responsible for everything from first-fix structural timber work (formwork, roofing, framing, ceiling, etc) to second-fix high-end finishes (doors, skirtings, and architectural features). You must be able to work independently from architectural drawings and maintain Urban Design Projects’ standard of precision.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Read and interpret architectural blueprints, drawings, and sketches to determine accurate material layouts and dimensions.
- Perform first-fix carpentry: structural timber framing, roofing structures, partitioning, and floor joists.
- Perform second-fix carpentry: doors, window frames, architraves, skirtings.
- Confidently operate a wide range of power tools, hand tools, and heavy workshop/site equipment safely.
- Cut, shape, and smooth timber, wood composites, and other building materials to exact specifications.
- Work closely with the Site Foreman and other trades (plumbers, electricians) to ensure smooth project progression.
- Source and accurately list required materials for upcoming project phases to minimize waste.
- Maintain a clean, professional, and safe working environment on-site.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Minimum 5+ years of active experience as a carpenter, specifically within residential/commercial renovations.
- Formal Trade Test certificate (Qualified Carpenter) is highly advantageous, but extensive, verifiable on-site experience is crucial.
- Strong knowledge of South African building standards, timber framing, and modern finishing techniques.
- Ability to read technical construction drawings and execute them accurately without constant supervision.
- Exceptional eye for detail, crisp joints, and level finishes.
- Sober habits, punctuality, and a strong work ethic.
