Stop reading.If you're a hard worker who wants to learn a real trade, can travel, doesn't mind night shifts, and isn't afraid of a 14-hour day when the job needs it — keep reading.WHO WE ARECapital 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.Around 60% of our installs run overnight (typical window 10pm to 12pm next day — the famous 14-hour shift). The other 40% are daytime new-builds and refurbs. Interstate runs to QLD and VIC are common. That's the normal pattern of work, not the exception. We're not pretending it's anything else.WHO WE'RE HIRINGFit, hard-working offsiders / labourers — no trade qualification required. If you're strong, reliable and want to learn a real trade, this is for you.You’ll thrive here if you've done any of:Labourer / TA (trades assistant) on commercial fitouts, exhibitions or shutdownsFurniture removals, warehousing, freight, or heavy lifting workShop-fitter offsider — carried panels, protected finishes, held drillsSite labouring on new-build fitouts, running loading docksLandscaping, concreting, formwork — anywhere physical fitness and grit matterEx-military, ex-farm hand, ex-warehouse — used to being physical all dayYou’ll hate it here if:You want a Monday-to-Friday day job with the same start time every day, home by 4pm. Don't apply. We're not the right fit and that's okay.WHAT YOU’LL BE DOINGUnloading trucks, staging parts on site in install sequenceProtecting existing finishes — floor, walls, gaming machines — before we start cuttingCarrying, lifting,



holding panels while the qualified installer sets themSite clean-up, rubbish removal, dust extraction, keeping the crew movingBasic power-tool work as you learn — drills, screwdrivers, silicone gunOvernight venue changeovers (typical window 10pm–12pm next day, 14-hour shifts common)Daytime installs on new builds and refurbsInterstate runs — NSW / QLD / VIC, 1-day to 5-day stintsLearning the job from a Leading Hand who's done it 10+ yearsFITNESS MATTERS — BE HONEST WITH YOURSELFThis is a physically demanding job. Every day you'll lift 25kg-plus panels overhead, stand or kneel for 12+ hours, work in dusty tight spaces, and finish a 14-hour overnight shift on your feet. You need to be genuinely fit — not just "okay" — and you need to be honest about that on day one.Lifting: comfortable moving 25kg repeatedly, 50kg with a mateStanding / kneeling: 12+ hours per shift on concrete floorsAwkward postures: reaching overhead, working under gaming bases, low crawl spacesStairs / ramps: often no lift access, carrying panels long distances.Overnight endurance: 14-hour shifts, then travel home the next dayWHAT WE PAY — AND WE’LL PUT IT IN WRITINGHourly structure$32/hr base + 30% night loading (10pm–5am) = $41.60/hr nightsOvertime hrs 9-10: $48/hr (1.5x base)Overtime hrs 11+: $64/hr (2.0x base)Saturdays +50%, Sundays +100%, public holidays +150%$32/wk tool allowance + $20/shift night meal allowanceReal-world earnings examplesSingle 14hr overnight shift: ~$700 + meal allowanceStandard week (2 × 14hr nights + 1 × 10hr day): ~$1,850Realistic earnings: $70k–$95k depending on nights/interstate mix38hr/wk minimum hours guaranteed even in dry weeks (filled with factory work, protection prep, training)LEARN A TRADE — WE FUND YOUR CERT IIIThis isn't a dead-end labourer job.

we'll pay for your Cert III in Cabinet Making through an approved RTO. You keep working, we cover the fees, and once you finish you move to the qualified installer rate ($45/hr + loadings = $120k–$150k OTE).Career path: Offsider → Qualified Installer → Senior Installer → Leading Hand → State Lead. We're opening QLD and VIC depots over the next 18 months.INTERSTATE PACKAGEFlights booked and paid by usPrivate bedroom always — hotel single rooms, or Airbnb with a bedroom-per-crew-member.
