Qualified Cabinet Maker

We are seeking an experienced Cabinet Maker / Joiner to join our team, working across a varied range of custom joinery, residential cabinetry and insurance-related projects throughout Melbourne.

This is not purely repetitive kitchen manufacturing. Our work varies considerably from project to project, so we are looking for someone with strong cabinet-making fundamentals who can think through a job, solve problems and work independently when required.

The Role

Your work will include:

• Manufacturing custom cabinetry and architectural joinery
• Kitchens, laundries, wardrobes, vanities, entertainment units, home offices and other bespoke cabinetry
• High-end residential and custom projects
• Insurance repair and reinstatement work
• Working with curved and angled cabinetry
• Laminating and manufacturing custom components
• Reading plans, drawings and specifications
• Understanding and producing cutting lists
• Accurately setting out and assembling cabinetry
• Installing cabinetry and joinery on site
• Installing drawer systems, hinges, runners and other cabinet hardware
• Working with a variety of board products, laminates and finishes
• Modifying and problem-solving existing cabinetry where required
• Working independently as well as part of a small team

What We Are Looking For

The successful applicant should:

• Be an experienced cabinet maker or joiner
• Have strong practical manufacturing and installation skills
• Be confident reading plans and understanding dimensions
• Be able to create and work from cutting lists
• Have experience with cabinet hardware and fittings
• Be comfortable working with curves, angles and non-standard cabinetry
• Have a high level of accuracy and attention to detail
• Be capable of working unsupervised
• Be able to identify and resolve problems rather than simply stop when something unexpected occurs
• Take pride in producing a high-quality finished product
• Be reliable, organised and able to communicate effectively with the team
• Maintain a clean and organised work environment

Our projects range from straightforward cabinetry through to detailed custom work, so versatility and practical problem-solving ability are important.

Trial

Suitable applicants will initially be invited to undertake a paid 3-day trial. This gives both parties an opportunity to assess workmanship, speed, accuracy, problem-solving ability and whether the position is a good fit.

References will be required from suitable candidates.

We are looking for someone who can become a valuable long-term member of the team. For the right person who can work efficiently, accurately and with minimal supervision, there is scope for a strong ongoing position and remuneration reflecting their capability.

Pay: $29.23 – $50.15 per hour

Work Location: In person
