Posting anon because I don’t want my office team INUNDATED with messages or doxxed on socials. If this post speaks to you, comment below and I will PM you directly.

I see a lot of young guys looking to start in the trades, or figuring out their next move after completing a trade or leaving a big building firm.

I’m a SEQLD and Northern Rivers commercial builder looking for a foreman—preferably trade-backed—to learn what it REALLY takes to be a good builder, not just someone who answers a phone or unlocks a gate at 6:30am.

It means thinking for yourself, learning, talking to clients and developers, sitting in on meetings, making decisions autonomously, and just generally having a go without constant hand-holding.

Trade, secondary, or uni education is preferred, but I'll consider anyone smart, who can think on their feet, use a computer, and read drawings. If you have a trade, you’re one step ahead.

I’m happy to invest and teach ANY young gun—same as what was given to me when I started by two good builders. But after 10 years in business and 20 years in the trade, they seem like UNICORNS these days.

You can live a comfortable life in the building trade and do well financially if you apply yourself and care for your team. Eventually, you might be in my shoes writing a post like this, just like I am now, 20 years after I started.

The ideal candidate would live between Brisbane and Tweed Heads.

Salary/ABN, Ute, car, phone, laptop, travel account—it’s all part of the deal, but you’ve got to show you’re worth it.

Cheers, elgends.
 
You sound like a unicorn too, but hey, if you're one of the good ones, big props to you, mate. There's just not enough personality and culture left in the building game these days. Get your team to really believe in what you're doing, and people will totally come your way.

Good luck, mate.
 
Thanks so much for doing this and offering a chance that could really change someone's life! I hope you come across tons of amazing people!
 
This is such a great post.

You know, I really resonate with every single part of it honestly, I feel like I’ve written those same thoughts myself.

I really hope your search goes well. Fingers crossed that person finds you.
