Are you a skilled cabinet maker or joiner who wants to use your hands to make a real impact? Resourceful Living is transforming Australia’s plastic waste into beautiful, functional products — and we’re looking for a talented maker to join our team.
This is not your standard cabinetry role. You’ll be working with our unique recycled plastic sheets, crafting custom furniture, cabinetry, benches, commercial fit-outs, and bespoke pieces that help close the loop on waste. Every project you build contributes directly to a cleaner, more sustainable future.
What You’ll Do
Manufacture custom cabinets, joinery, and furniture using recycled plastic board
Read drawings, cut lists, and work to precise measurements
Operate workshop tools including panel saws, routers, CNC (training provided)
Contribute to installations when required
Collaborate with a passionate team focused on innovation and sustainability
Bring creative solutions to working with a new and exciting material
What We’re Looking For
Experience as a cabinet maker, joiner, shopfitter, or similar trade
Strong attention to detail and pride in craftsmanship
Comfortable working with sheet materials (timber, laminate, or similar)
Willingness to learn how recycled plastic behaves differently to timber
Ability to work independently and as part of a small team
Positive attitude, reliability, and a commitment to quality
White card preferred (or willingness to obtain)
Why Join Resourceful Living?
Be part of Australia’s circular economy movement
Work with an innovative material that’s good for people and the planet
Supportive, family-run business with hands-on leadership
Variety of projects — no two days are the same
Opportunity to grow as we expand our manufacturing capability
