Cabinet Maker – Australia

Employer Sponsorship Available | Full-Time Position

We are recruiting experienced Cabinet Makers for an established Australian business specialising in kitchen cabinetry, outdoor kitchens, alfresco entertaining areas and custom joinery.

This is a hands-on manufacturing and assembly role working primarily with kitchen cabinets, outdoor cabinetry, cupboards, doors, panels and other custom cabinetry products.

We are specifically looking for skilled tradespeople with strong experience in cabinet manufacturing, assembly and finishing, who can work accurately from plans and specifications.

The Role

Your responsibilities will include:

• Manufacturing and assembling kitchen cabinets, cupboards, drawers and custom cabinetry
• Cutting, shaping and preparing timber, MDF, plywood, laminate and other board materials
• Manufacturing cabinetry for indoor and outdoor kitchens and alfresco entertaining areas
• Measuring, marking out and preparing materials from plans and specifications
• Operating panel saws, edge banders, routers, drills and other cabinet-making machinery
• Assembling cabinet carcasses, doors, drawers and shelving units
• Installing hinges, drawer runners, handles and other cabinetry hardware
• Applying edging, laminates and other finishes to cabinetry components
• Reading and interpreting technical drawings, measurements and production specifications
• Checking finished cabinetry for accuracy, alignment, quality and presentation
• Assisting with the fitting and installation of completed cabinetry where required
• Working safely and maintaining machinery, tools and work areas

What We're Looking For

You will need to be a genuinely skilled, hands-on cabinet maker who can demonstrate the quality of your work.

Ideally, you will have:

• At least 3 years of relevant cabinet-making or joinery experience
• Strong experience manufacturing kitchen cabinets, cupboards, drawers and custom cabinetry
• Excellent cutting, machining, assembly and finishing skills
• Experience using cabinet-making machinery and woodworking equipment
• CNC routing/machining experience highly regarded
• Experience with panel saws and edge banding machinery
• Ability to read and work accurately from technical drawings and measurements
• Good understanding of cabinetry hardware, fittings and assembly techniques
• Excellent attention to detail and quality workmanship
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Good communication skills

The employer is looking for someone who understands the complete cabinet manufacturing process, from cutting and machining through to assembly and finishing.

Experience with outdoor kitchens, modular cabinetry, flat-pack manufacturing or commercial cabinetry production would be particularly valuable.

This is not a general carpentry or construction labouring role. Applicants must have genuine cabinet-making or joinery manufacturing experience, rather than experience limited to framing, roofing, formwork or general building construction.

International Applicants

International applicants are welcome to apply, with Australian employer sponsorship available for suitable candidates under the Subclass 482 Skills in Demand visa, subject to meeting the relevant migration requirements.

Shortlisted applicants will need to:

• Provide genuine evidence of their employment history and cabinet-making experience
• Meet the applicable English language and visa requirements
• Provide photos and videos demonstrating their cabinet-making skills, machinery experience and previous work
• Be financially prepared to fund their own visa pathway and associated applicant costs

The Australian employer will meet their required employer sponsorship costs.
