Day-to-day, you'll be:

• Assisting with structural carpentry, framing, decking & finishing works

SAFETY FIRST, ALWAYS

The safety of our team is our highest priority. Since our establishment in 2022, Ambrose Building Group has maintained a zero reportable incident record, something we're committed to maintaining.

We operate with documented safe work method statements (SWMS) & standard operating procedures across our projects, ensuring every team member understands what is expected of them on site before work begins.

You will be inducted properly, supervised closely & never put in a situation you haven't been prepared for.

• Switched on, able to anticipate what's needed & get moving

• Physically capable, comfortable with hard work outdoors in all conditions

• Ability to travel independently between job sites & assist with material pickups
• Physical fitness & ability to perform manual labour
• A genuine interest in building, carpentry & construction
• A commitment to building a long-term career
• An understanding that apprentice wages reflect where you're starting, not where you're headed. Progression comes with demonstrated performance & reliability.

• Any prior experience in a trade, labouring or construction environment

WHAT WE OFFER

• A structured, supportive environment to learn the trade properly
• Consistent work on high-quality residential projects

• Long-term career pathway within a growing business

A FEW THINGS WORTH KNOWING BEFORE YOU APPLY

We're a small, tight-knit team & we hire carefully. We're looking for someone who sees this as the start of a career, not just a job.

If you're someone who brings consistency, shows initiative & genuinely wants to learn, you'll thrive here.

If you're looking for easy work or a quick pay cheque, this probably isn't the right fit.
