About us

Timberfy is a leading manufacturer of custom-made furniture and cabinetry. We are seeking an apprentice to join our skilled team of Cabinet Makers and Furniture Makers in our state-of-the-art workshop in Sunshine West, VIC. This is a full-time role where you will be responsible for crafting high-quality, bespoke furniture and cabinetry to the highest standard.

We’re looking for a motivated apprentice with a genuine interest in furniture making, cabinet making, and hands-on trade work.

This is a practical, workshop-based role suited to someone who enjoys working with their hands, learning real skills, and taking pride in what they build.

About the Role

As an apprentice, you’ll be involved in the full furniture and cabinet-making process, including:

• Working with solid timber and veneers
• Using hand tools, workshop machinery, and modern equipment
• Assisting with CNC machining and production processes
• Assembly, sanding, finishing, and installation preparation
• Learning how quality furniture is designed and built

This is a hands-on apprenticeship — you’ll be learning on the tools, not just observing.

About You

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has a genuine interest in furniture making or building things
• Enjoys practical, hands-on work and isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty
• Pre-apprenticeship preferred but not essential
• Is reliable, motivated, and keen to learn
• Takes pride in doing quality work
• Wants to develop long-term trade skills

No experience is required — just the right attitude and a willingness to learn.

Why This Apprenticeship?

• Learn a skilled trade with long-term career opportunities
• Work on custom, high-quality furniture (not mass production)
• Gain real, practical experience from day one
• See tangible results from your work every day

If you enjoy making things from scratch and want to build a career in a hands-on trade, we’d love to hear from you.
