Leather Crafter

Are you looking for your next adventure?

Do you enjoy working with your hands?

Do you have experience using tools and/or machinery?

Do you want to work in a unique industry?

Have you got ongoing work rights in Australia? (Sorry – we won't be considering sponsorship or working holiday visa holders at this time.)

Our leather room in Cairns produces quality leather items for wholesale and retail sales. We are looking for 2 superstars to join our team. One position is casual/temporary over our busy Christmas period, and the other is a full-time permanent position.

Your typical day may include:

• Precision cutting, grinding, and manufacturing of leather products

• Measuring and gluing leather products to a high standard

• Sewing leather products

• Maintaining leather materials and tools required in manufacturing products

• Packing orders

• Conducting stocktake activities, including counting product, accurately recording stock

• Complying effectively with health and safety requirements

Experience – these roles require physical work and experience crafting goods, so we are looking for someone with hands on experience with precision tools and/or machinery.

Attention to detail – precision, concentration and quality. We need you to have demonstrated hand/eye co-ordination, fine motor skills and great attention to detail.

A level of physical capability – you'll need to be able to safely lift products and stand and conduct repetitive activities for long periods.

Good communication skills – you'll need to be able to listen and follow direction, use sound judgement, and be able to pass on information clearly.

Teamwork – the ability to work within a multi-cultural, close-knit team is essential.

A commitment to health and safety practices – this is non-negotiable.

Transport – your own transport is needed to attend the workplace, as there is no public transport.

If meet the above requirements, we would love to hear from you

Priority will be given to candidates who are locally based in Cairns, or those who have enacted relocation plans. We won't be considering applications from sponsorship or working holiday visa holders.

What we offer in return:

Full training specific to your job role

An opportunity to work in an organisation with a unique product

Above award pay rates

Supportive team environment
