Factory Foreman / Leading Hand Cabinet Maker (Qualified Tradesperson)
We're looking for a hands-on Factory Foreman/ Leading Hand Cabinet Maker to lead our factory and installation teams while maintaining the highest standards of quality, safety, and craftsmanship.
This is not a desk-bound role. You'll be actively involved in factory production, cabinetry assembly, site installations, team leadership, and ensuring every project is delivered on time and to an exceptional standard.
We’re a small team who take pride in what we do and work on detailed projects across Sydney.
About Final Touch Joinery
Located in Sydney's Northwest, we build everything in-house, from cutting and assembly through to install. Every job’s a little different, but we maintain high standard and our clients expect detail and precision.
You won’t be stuck doing the same job every day. You’ll be part of a crew that takes pride in delivering great work, communicates with each other and works fast when needed.
The Role
As our Factory Foreman / Leading Hand Cabinet Maker, you'll lead the day-to-day factory operations while remaining hands-on in production and installation. Working closely with the Director, installers, tradespeople, and apprentices, you'll coordinate workflow, maintain quality standards, support the team, and ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and on schedule.

· Maintain quality control throughout production and ensure jobs are completed to a high standard.
· Coordinate with management, installers, suppliers, tradespeople, and apprentices to keep projects running smoothly.
· Assist with on-site installations, maintenance, and problem-solving when required.
· Monitor and enforce Work Health & Safety (WHS) standards.
· Maintain a clean, organised, and safe factory environment.
· Ensure projects are delivered accurately, efficiently, and on schedule.
What We're Looking For
· Proven experience in cabinet making, joinery manufacturing, and installation.
· Previous experience as a Leading Hand, Foreman, or similar supervisory role.
· Proven experience using CAD/CAM software and preparing or programming jobs for CNC machinery within a cabinet making or joinery environment
· Ability to lead, motivate, and manage a small team.
· Strong understanding of custom cabinetry, joinery processes, and quality standards.
· Ability to read and interpret Mozaik plans, technical drawings, and specifications.
· Strong organisational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
· High attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship.
· Sound understanding of WHS requirements and safe work practices.
· Reliable, proactive, and able to work independently.
· Current driver's licence and White Card.
Success in This Role
You'll be successful if you can consistently achieve:
· On-time delivery of production schedules and project deadlines.
· High-quality manufacturing and installation outcomes with minimal defects.
· Strong WHS compliance across all factory and site operations.
· Effective team leadership, development, and training.
· Smooth coordination between factory production and on-site installation teams.
