Timber Fabricator | Full Training Provided

Join the Team at Mainland Truss and Frame – Fabricators Wanted
Kennington | Full-time, Permanent

Mainland Truss and Frame is proudly New Zealand owned and operated. With over 35 years in the building industry, we specialise in manufacturing high-quality, pre-cut and pre-nailed timber wall frames and roof trusses to exact specifications. Our reputation has been built on solid service, precision, and a team-first attitude.

At Mainland Truss and Frame, we offer stable, year‑round employment with a guaranteed minimum of 40 hours per week, typically worked Monday to Friday. Overtime opportunities are available during peak periods, and we value flexibility, reliability, and a strong team mindset.

You will be joining a supportive, down‑to‑earth team that works hard, looks out for one another, and takes pride in delivering a high‑quality product. We provide full on‑the‑job training and mentoring, making this a great opportunity whether you’re experienced or keen to grow your skills.

As our operations continue to expand — including our move to a new, purpose‑built facility in Kennington — there will be ongoing opportunities for development and progression within the business.

We are looking for someone who brings the right attitude — dependable, practical, and committed to doing the job well. You will need to be physically fit, mechanically minded, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, hands-on environment. Solid communication skills, a strong focus on safety, and a willingness to learn and pitch in are key. If you have experience in timber fabrication, great — but if not, don’t be shy about applying. We are happy to offer comprehensive training and long-term support.

Key Responsibilities Include:

Cutting, assembling, and fabricating trusses and frames according to standard operating procedures
Carrying out quality checks and reporting any issues
Keeping your work area clean and tidy throughout the week
Assisting with the safe loading of finished jobs for delivery
For the right person, this role can be a gateway to further development as we continue to grow.

This role is based at our Mainland Truss and Frame plant in Kennington, near the Niagara Sawmilling site.
