Careers

We don't just build stairs, we build careers.

Good people tend to stay at Stairlock. Stairs are a niche trade, so we bring on people who want to learn it properly and grow with the business, and plenty do, clocking up 10, 20, and even 40 years with us.

The opportunities are broad, from the trades on the workshop floor to estimating, CAD, sales, finance and management in the office, there’s a real range of career pathways here, plus the training to support you.

We’re a proudly family-owned Australian business with a growing national footprint. Our purpose-built manufacturing plant and head office are in South Australia, backed by experienced sales and installation teams across Australia.

Why Stairlock

Why our people stay

A lot of our team have grown up in the business, moving into bigger roles over the years rather than moving on. When we ask what keeps them, three things come up again and again.

  • People who back each other
    More than three quarters of our team say the people are the best part of the job. New starters get shown the ropes, not left to sink or swim.
  • Room to grow
    Stairs are a specialist trade with real progression, and we promote from within. Whatever you start on, on the tools or in the office, there's a path forward for you.
  • Work worth doing, trusted to do it
    Our business involves skilled work that takes real care to get right, and we trust you to get on and do it properly instead of being watched over.
We train with the best in the trade

What we stand for

The values that shape every staircase.

01
Measure twice, cut once.
Whether you are building a staircase or a business this is good advice, consider options fully and with care, then make the cut. There is nothing more soul destroying than repeating unnecessary tasks.
02
Better together.
A tread alone doesn’t make a staircase. We are strongest as a unified team and we respect each other’s unique skills and input.
03
Find a better way.
Don’t accept the status quo, challenge it, and find a better way as we strive to streamline. All team members can make work better for themselves and make our business better.
04
Customers: our life blood.
Customers take years to partner with and seconds to lose, consider the customer perspective first, always.
