Carpenter Jobs & Ongoing Carpentry Work in Southport
Orange Projects is continually looking to connect with reliable carpenters servicing Southport and the surrounding northern Gold Coast. We are not advertising a specific vacancy here. We keep a working list of carpenters we can call when jobs land, and the people on that list get first phone call.
Orange Projects is a QBCC licensed renovation, carpentry and property maintenance company based on the Gold Coast. Licence No. 15620733.
The work that comes up in Southport
Southport is the busiest patch we work in. Between the CBD office towers, the older post-war houses through the back streets and the newer unit blocks near the Broadwater, there is a constant mix of residential and commercial work inside a very small radius. If you live locally you can often get to three jobs in a morning without touching the M1.
- Internal renovation carpentry in older Southport homes: wall framing changes, new openings, door sets, skirting and architraves.
- Commercial fit-out and make-good carpentry in CBD tenancies and medical suites, often out of hours.
- Unit and townhouse repairs around the Broadwater where access is tight and materials have to be carried in.
- Timber and composite decking, screens and privacy work on the smaller inner blocks.
Travel and your patch
Most Southport work sits between Labrador, Ashmore, Main Beach and Benowa, so a day rarely involves long drives. We do ask people to be comfortable heading south to Broadbeach or north to Coomera when a job runs over.
What we look for from people in Southport
Second and third year carpenters through to experienced leading hands. Clean finishing work matters more to us than speed, because most of what we do is in front of the customer when it is finished.
Before you start with us
- White card and any licence relevant to your work.

- Willingness to keep clear notes and photos on maintenance jobs.
Common questions
Do you have carpentry work in Southport right now?
We do not advertise vacancies we do not have. Orange Projects keeps an ongoing register of carpenters by area, and Southport is a suburb we work in regularly. Registering puts you on the list we call from when work is confirmed.
Do I have to live in Southport?
No. We dispatch by area rather than by address, so what matters is the patch you are happy to cover. Tell us your suburbs when you register and we will keep you close to home where we can.
Employment or subcontract?
Both are available. Employees and casuals work to hours and a run sheet we set. Subcontractors need an ABN and current public liability insurance, and work to an agreed scope or rate.
What do I need before I can start?
A white card, reliable transport and your own tools as a minimum, plus any licence required for the work you carry out in your own right. Subcontractors also need an ABN and insurance certificates on file.
