The Role: CNC Machine Operator (No Experience Needed)
Canning Vale | Mon–Fri Day Shifts | Starting at $30-40 per hour (based on experience) + super + bonuses
You’ll join our timber production crew, operating CNC machines and other workshop gear to build high-quality timber doors and joinery. It’s hands-on, physical, fast-paced — perfect for someone who likes practical work and wants to develop a long-term trade.
No CNC experience? No problem.
We’ll train you on the job — all you need is a great attitude, willingness to learn, and confidence using basic tools.
What You'll Do
* Learn to operate CNC machines and workshop tools safely and efficiently
* Read technical drawings (we’ll teach you how if needed)
* Help produce high-quality timber components to spec
* Maintain a clean, safe, and well-organised workspace
* Pitch in with the team to hit daily and weekly goals
* Suggest better ways of doing things — your ideas matter
You’ll Thrive in This Role If You:
* Enjoy hands-on, physical work in a team environment
* Are reliable, switched-on, and ready to grow
* Have used tools or machinery before (in work or DIY)
* Can read measurements and follow basic instructions
* Take pride in doing quality work and improving over time
* Want to build a long-term career, not just clock in and out
Extra Points (but not required):
* Any CNC, cabinetmaking, timber, or workshop experience
* Forklift licence
* Experience reading technical drawings or plans
* A drive to lead — we love promoting from within
