At Plantation Homes, we're not just about building houses; we're about creating better, happier, and healthier environments for families.
With a long history of creating professional career pathways for employees, we are excited to be on the lookout for a cadet to join our team in the Springwood office.
We are committed to investing in the next generation of building industry professionals which is why we’re so excited about our Cadetship program. This program is an opportunity for students or recent graduates to grow their careers in Drafting and Estimating with an industry-leading business.
About the Program
This is an opportunity to work full-time in a program spanning approximately 2.5 years. Over this period, our Cadets learn the ins-and-outs of Sales Estimating and Production Drafting – all through a competency-based rotation.
As a Cadet, you will learn through your involvement in all aspects of our pre-site operation. You will be supported by an experienced and committed team; mentors who are invested in your success; and external consultants that will help you complete new home production tasks on time. You will develop through exposure to industry experts, challenging (and rewarding) targets and being part of the culture we are so proud of at Plantation Homes.
About You
We are looking for the next generation of leaders in the building industry and are prepared to invest in great people to get them there. What we are looking for can't be taught - the right attitude, strong values, and the desire to play a part in building our customers’ dream homes. We will take care of the rest!
There are a few things that will set you apart from other candidates:
- A Certificate IV Building and Construction or Advanced Diploma of Building Design (Drafting/Architectural) – this one is a must for us!
- Basic experience using 3D software such as ArchiCAD, Revit or SketchUp
- Ability to manage competing priorities in order to achieve targets
- An excellent eye for detail
- The motivation and commitment to take initiative for your own learning and development
- Great communication skills and an inherently collaborative work style
The Work Perks
We will of course provide you with everything you need to be successful in your role, but there is so much more on offer to team members at Plantation Homes.
