Job Description
We are a high-quality joinery and manufacturing workshop looking for a skilled and detail-oriented CNC Operator to join our team.
In this role, you will be responsible for operating our flat-bed nesting CNC router, processing sheet goods, and producing precise components for cabinetry, bespoke joinery, and fit-outs. You will work closely with our design and assembly teams to ensure material optimization, accuracy, and minimal waste.
Key Responsibilities
- Machine Operation: Set up, load, and safely operate a flat-bed nesting CNC router.
- Material Management: Select, inspect, and load sheet goods (MDF, ply, MFC, solid surface) onto the bed, ensuring correct tooling and vacuum hold-down setup.
- Quality Control: Monitor machining runs, check component tolerances against drawings, and ensure a high-quality edge finish.
- Workflow Coordination: Efficiently sort, label, and organize nested parts for the assembly.
- Maintenance: Perform daily machine maintenance, tool changes, bed skim-runs, and keep the CNC area clean and safe.
Skills & Experience Required
- CNC Experience: Proven experience operating a CNC router within a woodworking, joinery, or shopfitting environment (flat-bed/nesting experience is highly advantageous).
- Drawing Interpretation: Ability to confidently read and interpret manufacturing drawings and cutting lists.
- Material Knowledge: A strong understanding of various timber products, sheet materials, and how they behave during machining.
- Software Familiarity: Experience using or navigating CAD/CAM interfaces (e.g., VCarve or nesting software) is a major plus, though training on our specific system can be provided.
- Attributes: High attention to detail, a proactive attitude toward workshop safety, and the ability to work independently.
What We Offer
- Competitive hourly rate based on experience.
- Standard working hours: [e.g., Monday to Thursday 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM, Friday 8:00 AM – 3:30 PM].
- Overtime opportunities during peak periods.
- A clean, well-equipped, and modern workshop environment.
- Workplace pension and holiday entitlement.
If you have the machining experience and a sharp eye for detail, we’d love to hear from you.
