Leading head carpenter jobs in Australia

The term "lead carpenter" refers to a carpenter who supervises other carpenters. A lead carpenter is someone who has experience in the trade, is self-reliant and takes responsibility for the well-being of those under their supervision.

The project manager is responsible for communicating with the lead carpenter. A lead carpenter constructs structures and is accountable for many of the project's outcomes. One of his or her responsibilities will be to oversee a crew of tradespeople.
