Job Title: Handyman / Carpenter / Installation Lead
Location: Melbourne (VIC), Hunter Valley (NSW) or Brisbane (QLD) – Regular Regional Travel
Role Type: Full-Time
Pay Rate: $45–$50 per hour
Who Are We?
At SecureIQ, we connect experienced professionals with growing Australian businesses looking for high-quality talent.
We’re currently partnering with a rapidly growing Australian modular housing company to build out its installation team across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.
About the Role
We're looking for experienced Handymen, Carpenters and Trade All-Rounders to lead the on-site installation of prefabricated, expandable and modular homes.
You'll be the lead person on site, working alongside builders, electricians, plumbers and other trades to take each installation from delivery through to completion. This is a hands-on role, so we're looking for someone who can turn their hand to a range of jobs, solve problems independently and confidently coordinate other trades when required.
You don't need to be formally qualified across every trade. What matters most is broad hands-on experience, strong practical ability and a genuine can-do attitude. Experience across carpentry, electrical, plumbing, waterproofing, tiling, roofing or general handyman work will all be valuable.
The work follows the installation sites, so regular travel is a key part of the role. You'll be based around Melbourne, Hunter Valley or Brisbane, with projects taking place across regional and country areas throughout your state. Installations can range from several days to a couple of weeks or more depending on the size and complexity of the home.
What You'll Be Doing
This role suits someone who's spent years working across different trades, knows their way around a construction site and is comfortable being the person others look to when something needs to get done.
Extensive hands-on experience across construction, trades or general handyman work
15+ years of varied trade experience preferred, although this is a guide rather than a strict requirement
Experience across multiple areas such as carpentry, electrical, plumbing, waterproofing, tiling, roofing or general handyman work
Confident leading jobs on site and coordinating other trades
Strong practical problem-solving skills and ability to work independently
Comfortable travelling regularly to regional and country installation sites
Own reliable vehicle for travel to and from sites
Strong reliability, communication and work ethic
Comfortable learning new modular and prefabricated installation methods
Australian working rights or an appropriate working visa
White Card preferred; additional site-specific licence requirements are currently being confirmed
Full-time opportunity with flexibility around working patterns
Standard Monday–Friday schedule, with the option to arrange a compressed four-day week with longer days
Travel costs funded on top of your hourly rate
Accommodation covered when working away from your base
Meals covered while away on installation projects
Interstate travel and flights covered where required
Opportunity for ongoing full-time work as the installation team expands
Work across a growing pipeline of modular and prefabricated housing projects

It serves DeFi, NFTs, and gaming by offering high throughput and efficient storage, plus features like native token bridges, scheduled payments, and upgradeable smart contracts without hard forks via a self-upgradable WASM runtime. It differentiates itself by combining Ethereum compatibility with a modular, upgradable architecture and built-in capabilities (bridges, recurring payments) that avoid forks and boost scalability. The goal is to provide a scalable, efficient, and upgradable platform that supports a broad ecosystem of developers and users for DeFi, NFTs, and gaming.
