BUILD. LEARN. IMPROVE.

PlyLab builds exceptional plywood kitchens, cabinetry and furniture using craftsmanship, CNC technology and Lean manufacturing.

We're looking for an A-Player who loves building things, takes serious pride in quality and wants to become exceptional at their craft.

We can teach machines. We can't teach attitude.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• HOMAG CNC machining
• Cabinet assembly & finishing
• Quality control & problem-solving
• Workshop organisation & 3S
• Installation support
• Improve how we build — every day

WHO WE WANT

✓ Takes serious pride in their work
✓ Organised, reliable and precise
✓ Learns fast and solves problems
✓ Takes ownership — no excuses, no blame
✓ Always looking for a better way
✓ Wants to become exceptional at their craft

Joinery, cabinetmaking, CNC or furniture experience preferred.

Overseas experience counts. NZ experience is NOT required.

CNC, WoodWOP, IMOS or HOMAG experience is a bonus — not essential.

Required: NZ manual driver licence + ability to drive a long-wheelbase manual van.

THIS ISN'T FOR EVERYONE

If you cut corners, need constant supervision, blame others or think “good enough” is good enough — you won't enjoy PlyLab.

If you want to learn fast, build exceptional work and take on more responsibility, you will.

WHERE CAN THIS TAKE YOU?

Senior Joiner → CNC Specialist → Production Lead → IMOS Detailer → Continuous Improvement Leader

Grow your skills. Take ownership. Move up fast.
