Wood Machinist
Gold Coast | Long-term, stable role
If you are an experienced wood machinist/setter/operator (Weinig or similar machine) who knows timber, tooling and setups — and you’re tired of being rushed, under-resourced, or under-valued — this role is worth a quiet look
Paradise Timbers is a long-established, family-owned timber business supplying doors, mouldings and architectural timber products across South East Queensland. We run modern Weinig multi-head moulders and value skill, accuracy and consistency over speed for speed’s sake.
This is not an entry-level operator role.
We are specifically looking for someone who sets machines properly and takes ownership of outcomes.
The Opportunity
You will take responsibility for setting up and running modern multi-head moulders, managing tooling, profiles and changeovers, and ensuring finish quality is right the first time.
You will be trusted to do your job without micromanagement.
What We’re Looking For
* Proven experience setting and operating multi-head moulders
* Strong understanding of timber behaviour, grain and finish quality
* Confident with tooling, cutter heads, profile setup and fine adjustment
* Able to diagnose issues and make corrections independently
* Takes pride in accuracy, consistency and professional workmanship
* Reliable, safety-focused and commercially aware
Trade papers are welcome but experience matters more than certificates.
What’s On Offer
* Key role in a stable, established workshop
* Competitive pay that reflects real skill and responsibility
* Modern Weinig machinery and quality materials
* Practical, hands-on management — no corporate layers
* Long-term security and consistent workflow
* Gold Coast location
A Note for Experienced Operators
If you’re currently employed but feel your skills are under-used, your setups rushed, or your standards compromised, this could be a genuine upgrade.
All enquiries are handled discreetly.
