About Us

We are a leading Perth-based innovator in Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), specialising in prefabricated modular homes using the award-winning SipForm™ Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) system. Manufactured in Perth, our homes are transported Australia-wide, with a strong emphasis on delivering rapid, energy-efficient housing solutions to regional and remote Western Australia – addressing critical housing shortages in mining communities, indigenous projects, and growing regional towns.

Due to surging demand for modular homes in regional WA (supported by government initiatives like the Housing Innovation Program), we are seeking an experienced Lead Carpenter to lead on-site installation teams, primarily in regional locations. This hands-on leadership role is perfect for a skilled tradesperson with supervisory experience, offering extensive regional work, FIFO/DIDO options, and excellent visa sponsorship prospects.

About the Role

You will supervise and actively participate in the rapid on-site erection of SipForm™ modular homes in regional WA, often achieving lock-up in weeks rather than months. Projects include social housing, mining accommodation, family homes, and community developments in remote areas.

Key Responsibilities

·         Studying drawings and specifications to determine required materials and managing the structural assembly and installation sequences for SipForm™ structural insulated panels.

·         Measuring and cutting materials to required sizes using power and hand tools, ensuring precision cutting and fitting for airtightness and 7-star energy compliance.

·         Directing crane-assisted placement of prefabricated panels and securing them to foundations to ensure accurate SIP panel placement using specialised structural fixings.

·         Building and installing rafters, specialised timber/steel joints, and structural members, focusing on framework and fixing to integrate the SipForm™ system with internal services.

·         Applying technical sealing methods and structural adhesives to panel joints, providing expert sealing and weatherproofing for the building envelope in harsh regional environments.

·         Identifying and resolving structural alignment issues or material discrepancies on-site through technical troubleshooting, particularly in remote or challenging regional settings.

·         Overseeing the handling, storage, and protection of prefabricated components and timber materials to maintain high-standard material coordination during transport and assembly.

·         Leading a small assembly team on-site while providing leading hand supervision and technical guidance to ensure all work meets the National Construction Code (NCC).

About You

We need a resilient leader with proven carpentry expertise and team supervision, ideally suited to regional and remote work.

Essential Requirements

·         Extensive carpentry experience (7+ years), including framing, renovations, bespoke timber, and structural works

·         Supervisory/leading hand experience (team coordination, contractor management, site oversight)

·         Project skills: planning, cost control, risk assessment, and decisive problem-solving

·         Willingness to work regionally/remotely (FIFO/DIDO experience advantageous)

·         Safety-focused; Australian White Card required)

·         Full driver's licence (HR licence desirable for regional travel)

·         Fluent English

·         Eligibility for sponsored visa

·         Exposure to SIPs, panelised/modular systems, or prefab assembly

·         Background in large-scale projects, technical installations, or logistical coordination (e.g., offshore/international)
