Contract carpentry in Clarence Valley NSW. Earn what you put through — motivated carpenters hitting $18k to $22k/month, top performers pushing $30k.
Why Apply

If you are a fast, all-round carpenter who is tired of being paid the same as the bloke next to you who works half as hard, this is the role built for you.
This is a contract carpentry role based in the Clarence Valley region of NSW, about 3.5 hours south of Brisbane. The work is residential builds with a well-known national brand, the pipeline is solid, and there is a slab ready to go right now. Pay is contract-based on square metre and linear metre rates, which means the harder and faster you work, the more you take home.
  • Earn $10k to $30k per month depending on your output — most motivated carpenters find their rhythm at $18k to $22k, with the best performers pushing $30k
  • Contract model rewards speed and quality — a full job covering frames, trusses, windows, doors, and cladding is worth approximately $25k
  • Regular progress payments as jobs are completed — no waiting around for your money
  • Immediate work available — slab ready to go right now with more jobs lined up behind it
  • Clarence Valley lifestyle — relaxed regional living, affordable cost of living, and no city rat race
  • Well-known, one of Australia's most recognised residential builders
  • Ongoing, steady pipeline of work — this is not a short-term gig
The Role

You will be working on residential builds across the Clarence Valley region. This is all-round carpentry work and the client needs someone who can handle the full scope, not just one part of it.

Day to day you will be across:
  • Standing frames and installing trusses
  • Installing tie downs, bracing, windows, and external doors
  • Timber posts and floor systems
  • Cladding and eave sheets
  • Fix-outs and fit-offs to a high standard
  • Working independently and managing your own output on site
The client runs a tight operation and needs someone who can think for themselves, turn up, and get on with it. No babysitting here.

What We Need
  • Trade qualification in Carpentry, non-negotiable
  • All-round capability across framing, cladding, and fix-outs
  • Strong work ethic and consistent employment history
  • High attention to detail and pride in your workmanship
  • ABN and willingness to set one up before starting
  • Genuine openness to living and working in a rural regional area
Why This Role

The contract model here is straightforward — you earn what you put through. For a motivated, all-round carpenter who turns up and works to a high standard, the earning potential well exceeds a standard wage job back in NZ. Clarence Valley is affordable, relaxed, and the work is there waiting. If you are the kind of tradie who backs yourself, this is the move that rewards it.
