• Driving the box truck to and from projects across Melbourne.

• Maintaining a clean, safe and organised work area.

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience installing custom cabinetry and joinery.

• A relevant trade qualification or substantial practical experience.

• Ability to work independently and lead by example.

• Strong attention to detail and pride in the finished result.

• Practical problem-solving skills, including confidence with complex installations.

• Reliability, punctuality and clear communication.

• A current car driver's licence - this is a must.

• A Construction White Card.

• Your own tools suitable for professional joinery installation.

• Willingness to travel to projects across Melbourne.

What we offer

• $45-$50 per hour, depending on your experience and capabilities.

• Paid travel time from the factory to site and back.

• Varied projects and challenging custom joinery work.

• A hands-on role within a family-owned business.

• The opportunity to take a leading role in our installation team.
