About Capital Design Works

n

Capital Design Works designs, manufactures and installs premium custom joinery and gaming environments for clubs, pubs and casinos across NSW, QLD and VIC. We run our own in-house factory in Sydney and deliver end-to-end from concept to install — drafting, machining, assembly, finishing and on-site fit-out all under one roof.

n

We've grown to around 30 staff and a 3,500 sqm factory because we do work that's actually built to a standard. We're hiring another cabinetmaker on the bench because the work is there and we want another set of skilled hands who can keep up.

n

The role

n

This is a hands-on bench cabinetmaker role. You'll be building custom commercial joinery — poker machine bases, privacy screens, hobs (including curved hobs), bar joinery, reception desks, full gaming-room fit-outs and one-off bespoke pieces.

n

This is a worker role, not a leading hand role. You're on the tools, building. You're not supervising other cabinetmakers, you're not running the floor, and you're not chasing other people's work. We have a Production Manage for that. Your job is to build well, build fast, and finish what you start.

n

You'll work in a fixed bench team of two,



with the same partner most of the time, so you build rhythm and trust.

n

What you'll be doing day to day

n

n
- Reading shop drawings and cut lists, working out the build sequence, getting it done
n
- Bench assembly of cabinets and bespoke pieces
n
- Hardware install — hinges, runners, locks, handles, soft-close, push-to-open
n
- Site-applied edging, scribing, hand-fitting where needed
n
- Working with melamine, laminate, veneer, solid timber, metal trims
n
- Quality-checking your own work before it leaves your bench — pre-assembly and pre-dispatch checks
n
- Keeping your area, tools and the pallet store tidy and organised
n
- Talking to the machinist, the storeman and your Production Supervisor when something's missing or wrong — early, not late
n

n

What we want from you

n

n
- A trade-qualified cabinetmaker (Cert III in Cabinet Making or equivalent), or someone with the runs on the board who can prove the trade
n
- You know how long a job should take and you work to that. You don't pad hours and you don't cut corners
n
- You hit deadlines. If a job's due Friday, it ships Friday
n
- You're fast and productive on the bench — but the quality is right the first time
n
- You take pride in your work. A door that doesn't sit right or a panel with a chip in the edge bothers you and you fix it
n
- You spot problems early and call them out instead of building over the top of them
n
- You turn up on time,



you work the day, and you finish strong
n
- You can read commercial shop drawings and follow them accurately
n
- Reliable transport to our Sydney factory
n

n

Highly regarded (not essential)

n

n
- Commercial joinery or shopfitting experience (vs purely residential / kitchens)
n
- Hospitality or club fit-out experience
n
- Experience with CNC-nested commercial work
n
- Experience with curved workand laminated components
n
- Site experience — handy if we need an extra pair of hands on an install occasionally
n

n

What we offer

n

n
- $40 – $45 per hour + super, based on experience and what you bring to the bench
n
- Full time, Monday to Friday, day shift — overtime when it's there and you want it
n
- Permanent role, not labour hire
n
- Modern factory across two connected buildings — proper machinery, proper dust extraction, proper tools
n
- Genuine premium work. You'll see your stuff installed in real venues, not flat-pack
n
- A factory that's run properly: clear daily plans, daily standups, real quality gates, real respect for the trade
n
- A Production Manager whose job is to make your job easier, not harder
n
- Long-term security — we have long term comitments on both buildings, we've got pipeline, and we're growing
n
- A workplace that doesn't expect you to be a manager, run the floor or solve other people's problems — your job is to build
n

n

Who we are not

n

n
- A residential kitchen shop
n
- A flat-pack assembler
n
- A labour-hire revolving door
n
- A place where the tradesman has to be the leading hand, the storeman, the scheduler and the QA at the same time
n
