Careers at James Marsden Builders

Build quality homes. Build a career you’re proud of.

We’re a small, growing building company on Brisbane’s northside, specialising in home extensions and major renovations between $100k and $1m.

We run a tight pipeline of projects, focus on quality over volume, and look after clients’ homes like they’re our own. If you care about doing things properly, not just “bashing it out,” you’ll fit in here.

Who thrives here

You’ll do well here if you:

  • Take pride in neat, accurate work

  • Can talk to homeowners respectfully and clearly

  • Turn up when you say you will, prepared

  • Ask questions instead of guessing and hoping

  • Care about leaving a tidy, safe site every day

If you want to coast, hide in a big crew, or cut corners, this won’t be for you.

Current opportunities

We’re always open to hearing from:

  • Qualified Carpenters
    With residential renovation/extension experience and solid finishing skills.

  • Apprentice Carpenters
    Early in your trade and serious about learning the right way to build.

  • Quality Subcontractors
    Who communicate well, show up on time, and look after our clients and sites.

Even if we don’t have a formal role advertised, if you’re the right person we’d rather know about you now than later.
