Job description

Seascape Kitchens and Joinery – Coolum QLD

Got a sharp eye, a steady hand on the machines and a trade behind you? We’re after an experienced CNC Operator to join our factory crew in Coolum Beach.

Who We Are

Seascape Joinery is known for high-end residential and commercial joinery across QLD, NSW and VIC. From intricate custom work to large-scale commercial fitouts, we build joinery that gets noticed, and we’re proud of every project we deliver.

It’s our people who make that happen. Our mission of “done right, every time” is our compass, keeping everyone working toward the same standard, while living our values of Mateship, Excellence, and Growth. We keep investing in better tools and smarter systems because there’s always a better way to do things.

The Role

You’ll run our CNC and edge banding equipment, working from the production schedule to keep components flowing to the factory floor. You’ll read drawings, cut lists and programs, nest sheets to get the most out of every board, and check every part before it moves on. When something doesn’t add up, you’ll flag it early with the Production Manager and work with the team to sort it out. You’ll also work closely with our Pre-Production Coordinator to keep material moving in and out of the machine.

The machines are yours to look after. You’ll keep them clean and well-tuned, staying on top of tool changes, calibration and regular upkeep so they’re always ready to run.

You’ll also be part of our continuous improvement and business coaching programs. If you can see a smarter way to run the CNC or a better flow through the factory, we want to hear it.
