Careers at Outhaus · Laceys Creek QLD

Proper work, under a roof.

We build Class 1a modular homes in one shed at Laceys Creek, 5 minutes from Dayboro. Small crew, real work, and every module that leaves carries our name on it.

  • Three roles open. Two on the tools at the ranch, one in the Brisbane office.
  • Built under roof. No mud, no rain days, no chasing a tarp at four o'clock.
  • Whole modules. You build the home, not one station on a line.
Why here

A building job that stays dry.

Off-site building is about control. Same shed, same crew, same standard, whatever the weather is doing outside.

The work is consistent

Every module is a fixed, engineered product. You learn the build once and then get good at it, instead of relearning a different set of drawings every job.

Small crew, real say

A handful of people on the tools. If something in the sequence is dumb, say so and we change it. Nobody gets lost here, and nobody carries someone else either.

Room to move

We are early, so the ceiling is high. Trade papers, tickets and a path to running a module are on the table for anyone who puts the work in.

Built here, all of it

One shed at Laceys Creek. Local crew, local trades, local supply where it exists. Nothing arrives half-done with our badge stuck on it.

The day

Steel, sheet, fit-off, done.

Modules go together on the deck in the shed and leave finished. You see a home start and you see it craned out.

  • Light gauge steel frameStraight, stable, and squared up on a level deck. Nothing is built in the wet.
  • Clad, lined and fitted off in-houseCladding, waterproofing, cabinetry and fit-off all happen in the same building, by the same hands.
  • Finished when it leavesCraned onto engineered footings, connected, signed off. Most site days are one day.
  • Real gear, looked afterProper tools, a covered bench, and a yard that gets swept. The place works because everyone keeps it working.

Carpenter

Outhaus Ranch · Laceys Creek QLD
Hiring now Full-time

Experienced hands who build things straight. You will be in the shed putting whole modules together: steel frame, cladding, lining, cabinetry and fit-off, on a level deck under cover.

The work repeats, which is the point. Same details, same sequence, every unit, so the finish gets sharper instead of starting from scratch each job. Straight lines and tight joints are the job, not a bonus. Every module we deliver has our name on it.

What you need
  • Cert III in Carpentry or equivalent trade certificate
  • Residential framing, cladding and lining experience
  • An eye for a straight line and a tight finish
  • Reliable, self-directed, and safe on the tools
The role
  • Based at the ranch, 472 Laceys Creek Road
  • Full-time and ongoing, not job to job
  • Trade rates plus super
  • A build pipeline that is already booked

Labourer

Outhaus Ranch · Laceys Creek QLD
Hiring now Full-time

Switched-on people who turn up and want to learn. You will be moving materials, prepping decks, cutting, cleaning down and keeping the shed running, which is the work that keeps everything else moving.

You do not need trade papers. You need to show up, put in, and take direction the first time. From there the path is real: we back people into tickets and trade papers when they earn it.

What you need
  • Fit enough for a physical day, every day
  • Reliable, on time, and easy to work next to
  • Willing to learn and take direction
  • White card, or willing to get one
The role
  • Based at the ranch, 472 Laceys Creek Road
  • Full-time and ongoing, not job to job
  • Hourly rate plus super
  • A path into an apprenticeship if you want it

Junior Designer

Clayfield office, Brisbane · site days at Laceys Creek
Hiring now Full-time

A design-minded all-rounder who also cares how things go together. You will work across the modular range, refining layouts, detailing and material selections so they can be drawn, engineered and built without a fight.

It suits someone early on who is quick in design software, organised, and curious about the whole build. What you draw gets built, usually within months. You will be in the room with the build team, the engineers and the suppliers, not handing a concept over a wall.

What you need
  • Architecture, interior design or building design background
  • Confident in AutoCAD, Revit or similar
  • An eye for materials, finish and proportion
  • Organised, collaborative, and across the detail
The role
  • Based at the Clayfield office, 515 Sandgate Road
  • Regular site days at the ranch, Laceys Creek
  • Graduate salary plus super
  • Direct work with the build team and our engineers

Not on the list?
Tell us anyway.

We are always open to the right person, whether or not there is a job ad up. If you think you belong here, say why in a few lines and tell us what you have built.

What gets read first. What you have built, where, and who you built it with. Photos of your own work beat a formatted CV every time.

What we skip. Templated cover letters and anything written by a robot. Two honest paragraphs will do it.

What happens next. If it looks like a fit, we get you out to the ranch. You should see the shed before you decide, same as we should see your work.

Three ways in

Come and have a look first.

Ten minutes in the shed and you will know whether this place suits you.
