Maintenance Carpenter | Run Your Own Division | Insurance & Commercial Works

Gorilla Construction WA | Perth, WA | Full-Time

Gorilla Construction WA is looking for a switched-on Maintenance Carpenter who wants more than just another job.

This role is for someone who can take ownership, work independently, manage clients, solve problems on site, and help build a maintenance division inside a growing construction company.

You will be trusted to run your own jobs from start to finish, including communication, scheduling, site works, quality control, and final sign-off.

About Gorilla Construction WA

Gorilla Construction WA is a registered Perth builder delivering residential, commercial, insurance, and maintenance construction works.

We are growing quickly and building a team around reliability, high standards, accountability, and strong workmanship. We do not want clock-watchers. We want people who take pride in the job, back themselves, and want to grow with the company.

The Role

You will help run our maintenance and insurance repair division, completing small to medium repair works across residential, insurance, and commercial sites.

This role suits a qualified carpenter who is confident dealing with clients, working through problems, and getting jobs completed properly without needing someone standing over them.

Your work may include:

• Insurance make-safe and repair works after storm, water, impact, or accidental damage

• Reinstatement works including doors, skirting, framing, sheeting, cabinetry repairs, flooring, and general carpentry

• Commercial maintenance across shops, offices, retail, and business premises

• Site inspections, scoping, and quoting smaller jobs

• Booking and scheduling works

• Coordinating trades and materials where required

• Keeping clients, insurers, and the office updated

• Quality checking and signing off completed works

When larger residential or commercial projects require support, you may also assist across those jobs. The work is varied, fast-moving, and suited to someone who enjoys responsibility.

What You Need

• Certificate III in Carpentry or equivalent qualification

• Strong experience in maintenance, insurance repairs, or renovation-style works

• Own reliable ute and full tool kit

• Ability to work unsupervised and manage your own schedule

• Strong communication skills with clients, trades, and office staff

• High attention to detail and pride in workmanship

• Current WA driver’s licence

• White Card

Bonus Points

• National Police Clearance or willingness to obtain one

• Working at Heights ticket

• EWP ticket

• Experience dealing with insurance builders, loss adjusters, or make-safe works

• Ability to quote and scope small works confidently

What’s In It For You

• Genuine autonomy and ownership of your own division

• Opportunity to grow with a fast-moving registered building company

• Variety across insurance, commercial maintenance, and construction works

• Supportive team with strong systems behind you

• Competitive pay based on experience and capability

• Long-term opportunity for the right person to step into a bigger leadership role

Who This Will Suit

This role will suit someone who wants responsibility, not excuses.

You may be an experienced carpenter who is tired of being boxed in, or someone already doing maintenance and insurance work who wants the backing of a proper builder with room to grow.

If you are reliable, organised, good with people, and take ownership of your work, this could be a strong fit.
