Looking for a hands-on role where you can learn a real specialist trade?
Capital Solid Surface is looking for a
Trades Assistant
to join our team in Queanbeyan.
We manufacture and install solid surface products for commercial, healthcare, government and residential projects across the ACT and NSW.
Our work is wide-ranging, custom and hands-on - and we're looking for someone practical, reliable and keen to learn.
You don't need solid surface experience.
We'll teach you.
If you've worked in construction, manufacturing, a workshop, labouring or another hands-on role, that's great - but we're much more interested in finding someone with a good work ethic, practical ability and the right attitude.
What you'll be doing
Assisting with the fabrication of solid surface products
Cutting, shaping, sanding, polishing and finishing
Learning solid surface joining and fabrication techniques
Using hand tools, power tools and workshop machinery
Assisting with CNC production and material preparation
Helping with thermoforming and custom fabrication
Assisting with site installations
Reading measurements, drawings and job information
Handling materials and finished products
Keeping the workshop organised, safe and productive
As your skills develop, you'll take on more fabrication work and greater responsibility.
What we're looking for
You don't need to know solid surface already.
What matters to us is that you:
Are practical and comfortable working with your hands
Are reliable and turn up when you're supposed to
Can follow instructions and pay attention to detail
Take pride in doing a job properly
Are willing to learn
Can work well as part of a team
Are physically capable of hands-on workshop and installation work




Have a current driver's licence
Previous workshop, manufacturing, construction, labouring or Trades Assistant experience is
highly regarded but not essential
.
A White Card and relevant safety training are also desirable.
If you're otherwise the right person and don't currently hold everything required, talk to us.
Why work with us?
We're a specialist local manufacturer with a modern, well-equipped workshop and a genuinely varied workload.
You'll get:
Permanent full-time employment
$30–$38 per hour + super, depending on experience and capability
38 ordinary hours per week + overtime as required
Hands-on training in specialist solid surface fabrication
Experience with CNC and specialist manufacturing equipment
Varied workshop and installation work
Ongoing skills development
The opportunity to take on more responsibility as your skills grow
This isn't a dead-end factory hand job.
If you're capable and want to learn, there's plenty of room to develop.
Interested?
Apply through Indeed with your resume and tell us a little about your previous work experience and why you think you'd be a good fit.
Don't have every skill listed?
Apply anyway.
We'd rather meet a practical, reliable person who's keen to learn than miss someone good because their previous job title wasn't exactly what we were looking for.
Please note that any offer of employment is subject to satisfactory reference checks, a pre-employment medical/physical assessment, verification of your right to work in Australia and verification of relevant licences and certifications.
