Carpenter (Second-Fix & Maintenance) — Finally work where you’re valued.
Location: Kimberley region (Fitzroy Crossing, Derby → Kununurra) + Perth projects
Type: Full-time (Relocate or FIFO options)
Pay: Top rates + weekly payroll (penalties/overtime paid)
Perks: Accommodation provided on remote jobs, company vehicle for local roles, sponsorship available for the right candidates
If this sounds familiar, you’re probably undervalued:
• You’re treated like a number. Decisions happen above your head; your ideas never make it off the whiteboard.
• Inconsistent work & last-minute chaos. Poor planning, late materials, and you’re expected to “make it happen” anyway.
• No growth, no feedback. Same tasks every day, no pathway to become a Leading Hand or Supervisor.
• Pay headaches. Chasing timesheets, unclear rates, overtime that “will be sorted next week.”
• Unsafe or under-resourced sites. Old tools, missing PPE, and pressure to cut corners.
• Toxic culture. Micromanagement, blame games, zero recognition when you carry the load.
What’s different at Crete Resources (family-owned & operated):
• Respect first, always. You’ll know the plan before you leave the yard, and you’ll have a voice in how we deliver it.
• Stable pipeline & clear rosters. Long-term contracts across the Kimberley + metro work mean consistent hours—not guesswork.
• Real growth path. Defined steps to Leading Hand → Supervisor → Superintendent, with coaching and paid training time.
• Transparent pay. Weekly payroll, documented rates, overtime/penalties tracked and paid—no chasing.
• Safety & quality gear. Proper PPE, maintained tools, and materials ready before you hit site.
• Invested in your development. Toolbox talks, certifications funded (by approval), and a personal 90-day growth plan.
• Lifestyle support. Accommodation provided on remote projects; company vehicle for local roles; relocation assistance considered; visa sponsorship available for the right candidates.
• Family culture. We’re a tight team that backs each other—no egos, no passengers, and wins are shared.
The work you’ll do
• Second-fix carpentry & maintenance (residential, community facilities, resort reconstruction)
• Repairs, refits, and defect rectification with an eye for finish quality
• Small leadership opportunities from day one (run a bay/area, mentor a junior, own a scope)
You’ll be great here if you:
• Are a competent second-fix chippy with pride in your finish
• Thrive with clear plans and enjoy improving systems on site
• Communicate well, show up prepared, and leave work areas spotless
• Want a company that will actively help you level up
Package & benefits
• Top rates, paid weekly

• Week 7–12: Lead small teams/areas; review for Leading Hand pathway & pay step
