Built on Care, Excellence, Quality, and Integrity, we offer a professional environment where quality craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do. 

The Opportunity

As a Cabinet Maker in our machine shop team, you will play a critical role in the manufacturing process – operating CNC machinery, saw equipment, and edgebanders to cut, machine, and prepare cabinetry components to the highest standard prior to assembly and dispatch.

This is a hands-on role where attention to detail directly impacts customer satisfaction, site installation efficiency, and the overall quality reputation of the Farquhar Group.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Operating woodworking machinery including CNC machines, panel saws, edgebanders, and drills to cut and shape board components
  • Preparing, profiling, and machining raw timber, MDF, particleboard, and laminates according to production specifications
  • Interpreting job sheets, drawings, and production instructions accurately
  • Inspecting machined components for dimensional accuracy, cut quality, edgebanding finish, and drilling placement
  • Ensuring all prepared components meet strict internal quality standards before passing to assembly teams
  • Supporting continuous improvement by identifying defects, production issues, and efficiency opportunities
  • Working collaboratively with production, machining, and dispatch teams to maintain workflow and deadlines
  • Maintaining a clean, safe, and compliant work environment in line with OHS requirements

What We’re Looking For

  • Trade qualification in Cabinet Making (or equivalent experience in cabinetry manufacturing)
  • Strong experience in machine shop environments, panel processing, or board cutting and edging
  • High attention to detail and pride in producing premium-quality workmanship
  • Proficiency operating CNC routers, flatbed nesting machinery, panel saws, and edgebanders
  • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and production schedules
  • A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with a strong “right first time” approach
  • Solid understanding of workplace health and safety requirements

Your Strengths Will Include

  • Experience working in a fast-paced manufacturing or production environment
  • Strong problem-solving skills when identifying and correcting machining or material defects
  • Ability to manage workload efficiently while maintaining quality standards
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills within a production setting
