Apprentice Carpenter – South East & Gippsland

Join a Team That Builds More Than Just Homes

Fairhaven Homes is on the lookout for a motivated Apprentice Carpenter to join our growing construction team across the South East and Gippsland regions.

About Us

Fairhaven is an award-winning home builder with a clear vision: to set a new benchmark for high-quality, affordable homes. Operating across Melbourne’s West, North, Geelong, and Gippsland regions, we specialise in new home construction, house and land packages, and knock down rebuilds.

Our homes are built on foundations of quality, honesty, and affordability — the same standards we’d want for our own families. Backed by industry recognition and a strong customer-first focus, we're proud of the culture we've built and the people who drive it. When you join Fairhaven, you become part of a team that values integrity, hard work, and continuous growth.

The Opportunity

We’re seeking a first-year apprentice (or someone partway through their apprenticeship) to become a key part of our on-site carpentry team. Working in small, skilled crews, you'll gain hands-on experience in all aspects of carpentry including:

Framing
Lock-up
Fix and Fit-off

If you’re reliable, eager to learn, and ready to get stuck into real-world experience, we want to hear from you. No tools required — just the right attitude.

What You’ll Be Doing

Assisting qualified carpenters with day-to-day tasks
Learning and developing your carpentry skills on-site
Maintaining a safe and tidy work environment
Setting up and looking after tools and equipment

What We’re Looking For

Reliability and a strong work ethic
White Card (we can assist if needed)
Driver’s licence preferred but not essential
Pre-apprenticeship course completed (an advantage)
Good time management and communication skills
A positive attitude and customer-focused approach
