If you want 7am starts and a kitchen-a-week rhythm, this isn't for you. Stop reading.

If you've done overnight commercial fitouts, exhibition installs, or shutdown crew work — and you actually liked the rhythm — keep reading. We're hiring.

WHO WE ARE

Capital Design Works builds and installs premium gaming-room joinery for clubs, pubs and casinos across NSW, QLD and VIC. 30+ years in the trade. Often copied, never replicated. We design it, manufacture it in our 3,500m² Revesby factory, and install it in venues that can only give us the install window between close and re-open.

About 60% of our installs run overnight (typical window 10pm to 12pm next day — the famous 14-hour shift). The other 40% are daytime current-builds and refurbs. Interstate runs to QLD and VIC are common — 1-day, 2-day, sometimes a week. It is the normal pattern of work, not the exception. We are not pretending it's anything else.

WHO WE'RE HIRING

Cabinet makers, shopfitters, joiners — qualified, with experience and your own tools.

You'll thrive here if you've done any of:

•Commercial shopfit installs

•Exhibition / trade-show stand builds

•Casino, club, hotel refurb crews

•Ex-FIFO mining/LNG and want the rhythm without the swings

•Retail rollout work

You'll hate it here if:

Your identity is built around 7am-3pm, home for dinner, weekends on the boat. Don't apply. We're not the right fit and that's okay.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
