At Stellar Property Solutions, we specialise in residential and commercial property maintenance, insurance reinstatement, renovations, alterations and building improvements throughout the Wellington region. Property maintenance is a significant part of what we do—it’s not maintenance in the traditional sense. Our work ranges from reactive insurance repairs and planned maintenance programmes through to kitchen and bathroom renovations, commercial fit-outs, structural repairs, window and door replacements, and complete property improvements. One day you could be repairing storm damage for an insurer, the next replacing timber joinery, carrying out commercial maintenance, installing a new kitchen or completing a bathroom renovation. If you enjoy variety, solving problems and working on different types of projects, this could be the role you're looking for. About the Role This is a hands‑on role for an experienced tradesperson who enjoys working across a diverse range of residential and commercial projects. Our work is fast-paced and service-driven. You'll often move between multiple projects throughout the week, so being organised, adaptable and able to manage changing priorities is essential.

We're looking for a professional tradesperson who understands that every project is different and that success comes from understanding the client's objectives and delivering the right outcome. Some projects require practical, cost‑effective solutions. Others demand a premium finish with exceptional attention to detail. Great tradespeople understand the difference and can consistently deliver the agreed scope within the required budget, timeframe and standard. The ideal person will: Take ownership of their work from start to finish. Think ahead and plan rather than simply react. Be organised, reliable and self‑motivated. Enjoy solving problems rather than making excuses. Work efficiently while maintaining a professional standard of workmanship. Understand the importance of meeting programmes and keeping commitments. Communicate openly and raise issues before they become problems. Build positive relationships with clients, tenants, suppliers and subcontractors. Represent Stellar Property Solutions professionally at all times. Be adaptable and enjoy working across a variety of projects. Be a genuine team player who contributes positively to the business. Take pride in continually improving their trade skills. Skills & Experience To be successful in this role you'll ideally have: A New Zealand Building qualification or significant practical carpentry experience. At least three years' experience in maintenance carpentry, renovations, alterations or commercial building. Strong all‑round carpentry skills and practical trade knowledge. The ability to work independently and confidently manage jobs on site. Experience using mobile technology for job management and communication. A full New Zealand driver's licence. New Zealand residency or a valid work visa. Experience in insurance reinstatement, property maintenance or commercial maintenance will be highly regarded. Why Join Stellar Property Solutions?

This role will suit someone who enjoys taking ownership, solving problems and working in a business where professionalism, reliability and accountability matter. If you're looking for somewhere to simply clock in and clock out, this probably isn't the role for you. However, if you enjoy variety, take pride in representing your employer professionally, and want to be part of a growing company where your contribution genuinely makes a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
