Build your future with Shore Construction

Looking to kick-start your career in construction? At Shore Construction, we believe great projects are built by great teams. With over 30 years in the industry, we’re proud to be a family-owned business known for exceptional workmanship, integrity, and a supportive team culture.

If you want to work on high-end homes, premium renovations and standout projects, this is where you start building a real career.

We’re looking for a Carpentry Apprentice to join our South Canterbury (Timaru) team. This role is ideal for someone who is genuinely interested in building, enjoys working with their hands, and wants to learn from experienced tradespeople on quality projects.

More than anything, we’re looking for the right attitude, someone who turns up, gets stuck in, listens, learns, and takes pride in what they do.

As an Apprentice Builder, you’ll gain hands-on experience while working towards your NZ Certificate in Carpentry (Level 4). We’ll cover your apprenticeship training fees so you can focus on learning and growing without the added cost.

What you’ll be doing:
  • Learn how to complete construction tasks to a high standard
  • Develop the skills to read and understand building plans and layouts
  • Support the team on residential and commercial sites
  • Maintain a safe and tidy work environment
  • Complete your learning units and training requirements
What we’re looking for:
  • A positive attitude and willingness to learn
  • A strong work ethic
  • Great attention to detail
  • Good communication and listening skills
  • Self-motivation and a professional attitude
  • Ability to manage time effectively
  • A team player with a positive attitude
What you’ll need
  • No prior experience required
  • A passion for the construction industry
  • A positive attitude
  • You must hold a current driver’s licence (any class)
Why Shore Construction?

We’re more than just a building company. We’re a team that’s passionate about what we do. You’ll be joining a supportive crew that takes pride in quality workmanship and enjoys helping young builders grow in the trade. Your training fees are on us because we believe in investing in your future.
