Opportunity

As an Army Carpenter help construct buildings and temporary facilities, while enjoying:

  • a good salary plus generous superannuation
  • ongoing investment in your personal and career development
  • free medical and dental
  • job security and a good work/life balance
  • rewarding work and world-class trade training
  • subsidised accommodation
  • a supportive team environment
  • travel and leave entitlements
  • free access to sports and fitness facilities
  • friendships that last a lifetime

All that plus exciting opportunities supporting Army domestic activities, including exercises and operations, with potential deployments overseas in support of Australian and coalition personnel.

Your role

Whether it’s building accommodation for personnel, protective structures for Army hardware, or shelters for typhoon-ravaged communities, there’s always a need for chippies in the Army.

Join the team and you'll receive comprehensive trade training plus nationally-recognised qualifications, and your work is likely to be far more varied than you'd find in most civilian jobs.

The tools and equipment you'll use will be among the best available, and where you use them could range from Army bases in Australia to deployments overseas.

In addition to all aspects of carpentry, your responsibilities will include planning, materials sourcing and equipment maintenance. Making the role even more interesting, as a fully-trained soldier you’ll learn to work with a rifle as well as with a nail gun.

This is a highly rewarding job that gives you skills and knowledge for life. Better still, in the Army you’ll be working for a dynamic organisation that offers a great lifestyle plus opportunities and experiences you simply won’t find anywhere else.

Sounds good? Then apply now (below).

Salary

  • Fully-paid trade training
  • Once trained, starting package approx. $68,500 p.a. plus superannuation
  • Numerous other benefits

Location

  • Training in Wagga Wagga and Moorebank (Sydney) NSW
  • Then posting to Amberley (QLD), Brisbane, Darwin, Sydney or Townsville (QLD)

Entry Requirements

  • At least 17 years of age
  • Australian Citizen
  • Year 10 completion with passes in English, Maths and two other subjects (preferably with Industrial Arts content)

If you do not have the required passes you may be eligible to sit an Alternative Education Equivalency assessment. Medical and fitness guidelines also apply.
