ABOUT US

We're a growing joinery and commercial carpentry company with something to prove. We've got the skills, the vision and the ambition to become one of the most respected joinery teams in the industry — and we're building that culture right now.

Our recent pipeline includes Telstra's flagship Melbourne CBD store, hotel fit-outs, retail spaces, schools and office environments. New machinery is arriving this year, our lean transformation is delivering real results, and our team is evolving.

We're not a traditional factory. We're collaborative, results-driven, and we invest in our people as much as we invest in our processes.

THE ROLE

We're looking for a Joinery Set Out / Drafter to join our team at our Braeside factory — someone as comfortable behind AutoCAD and Microvellum as they are on the phone to an architect.

You'll turn architectural drawings into accurate, buildable joinery shop drawings and construction drawings, and work closely with our production and project management teams to keep every job moving from design to delivery.

What you'll actually do:

- Interpret architectural drawings and translate them into detailed joinery shop and construction drawings

- Liaise directly with architects and builders to resolve design and documentation questions

- Produce detailed, accurate material lists

- Liaise with production and project management to meet project requirements

- Work with the factory team to design more efficient, buildable construction methods

- Coordinate with the manufacturing team ahead of site installation

- Process drawings in line with site measurements provided by project management

- Contribute to and help build out our Microvellum libraries

- Drive ongoing efficiencies within the drafting function

ABOUT YOU

You've got previous experience with AutoCAD and Microvellum — this is essential.



You've got a very keen eye for detail and take real pride in getting drawings right the first time. You're a confident communicator, comfortable liaising with architects, builders and the factory floor, and you work well as part of a team.

You've got a lean mindset — curious about how things work and how they could work better, open to new ways of doing things, and willing to help improve them.

Essential:

- Previous experience with AutoCAD and Microvellum

- Strong drawing interpretation skills and a keen eye for detail

- Confident communicator, comfortable liaising with architects and builders

- Ability to produce accurate material lists and construction documentation

Ideal:

- Experience in commercial joinery, office fit-outs or education-sector projects

- Experience working closely with a production or factory team

- Background in continuous improvement or lean initiatives

WHAT YOU GET

- Market-competitive salary, based on experience

- Modern factory and office space with brand-new, state-of-the-art machinery

- Training and upskilling opportunities

- A team invested in doing good work

- Genuine career progression as the business grows

WHY MELWOOD

We're 18 months into our lean journey. The factory looks different, the flow is better, our processes are tighter and our standards are clearer — and we're just getting started. We've got major projects locked in across schools, offices, hotels and retail, and we're investing in new machinery to match.

We want a workplace where the team knows what they're working toward, quality means something, and improvement is everyone's job.

APPLY NOW

If this resonates — if you're looking for a role where you can sharpen your craft and build something real — we want to hear from you.

Send us your resume and a note on why you're interested. Tell us about a project where your attention to detail made a real difference, or a time you improved a process or way of working.
