About Imatech Joinery Services

Imatech Joinery Services Pty Ltd is a well-established, Australian-owned joinery business based in Hobart, Tasmania. We specialise in high-quality bespoke and heritage timber joinery, delivering premium outcomes across residential, commercial and restoration projects.

Our Cambridge facility combines traditional joinery expertise with modern manufacturing technology, including advanced 3-axis and 5-axis CNC machinery and a BIESSE edge bander, allowing us to manufacture a broad range of quality custom joinery.

At Imatech Joinery Services, we take pride in our workmanship and provide our people with a safe, well-equipped setting where they can put their skills to use and continue developing their experience.

The Role

Due to continued workload, we are looking for Skilled Trade Assistants to join our Cambridge workshop, with both casual and permanent full-time opportunities available.

This is a predominantly workshop-based, hands-on role, with the main focus on assisting with the manufacture and assembly of kitchens, cabinetry and other joinery products. Day to day, you will be involved in operating CNC machinery, preparing components and assembling kitchens and cabinetry alongside our experienced Timber & Cabinetry Joiners.

This is not a general labouring position.



We are looking for people who already have practical skills and industry exposure within joinery, cabinetry, kitchen manufacturing, carpentry or a similar trade environment.

You don't need to be a qualified tradesperson, but you will need to be comfortable working with tools, machinery and timber/cabinetry products and, importantly, willing to work alongside and assist our qualified tradespeople as part of the workshop team.

Key Responsibilities

- Assist with the manufacture and assembly of kitchens, cabinetry and other joinery products

- Operate CNC machinery and other workshop equipment, with appropriate training provided where required

- Assemble cabinets, kitchen components and associated joinery

- Prepare, measure and handle timber, board and other materials

- Use hand and power tools safely and confidently

- Read and follow plans, measurements and production requirements

- Assist with edging, drilling, fitting and preparation of cabinetry components

- Check completed work to ensure quality and accuracy

- Work alongside and assist qualified Timber/Cabinetry Joiners with day-to-day workshop activities

- Assist with onsite installation work from time to time as required

- Maintain a clean, organised and safe workshop environment

- Follow all workplace health and safety requirements

About You

To be successful in this role, you will have:

- Previous hands-on industry experience in joinery, cabinetry, kitchen manufacturing, carpentry or a similar trade setting

- Practical joinery and/or carpentry skills and experience working with timber or board products

- Confidence using a range of hand and power tools

- A genuine willingness to work alongside and assist qualified tradespeople

- Good practical and mechanical aptitude

- Ability to follow plans,



measurements and instructions accurately

- Good attention to detail and pride in producing quality work

- A reliable, proactive and team-focused approach

- A strong commitment to workplace safety

Experience with CNC machinery, kitchen or cabinet assembly, or other joinery workshop machinery will be highly regarded.

A White Card, forklift licence or other relevant industry tickets will also be highly regarded.

A formal trade qualification is not required; however, applicants must have relevant industry exposure and existing practical skills within joinery, cabinetry, carpentry or a similar field.

As a valued Imatech team member, you will receive:

- Competitive rates based on your skills and experience
