CNC Programmer

Key Responsibility: Develop, and optimise CNC programs using CAD/CAM software for a wide range of components and materials. Interpret engineering drawings, models, and specifications to generate efficient toolpaths. Standardise CNC programming practices to maximise repeatability, reduce errors, and ensure safe operation. Define tooling, work-holding, and setup requirements to support efficient production. Work closely with machinists, engineers, and production staff to ensure seamless handover of programs to the shop floor. Analyse and continuously improve CNC machining processes to reduce cycle times, scrap, and tooling costs. Support new product introduction (NPI) by creating and validating CNC programs for prototype and production parts. Maintain accurate documentation of programs, setup sheets, and process notes. Collaborate with production and engineering teams to deliver process improvements and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives. Ensure adherence to company safety standards and regulatory requirements at all times. Strong knowledge of CNC machining and offline programming using CAD/CAM software (e.g., Siemens NX, Mastercam, Edgecam, or equivalent). Skilled in reading and interpreting complex engineering drawings and 3D models. Understanding of cutting tool technology, machining strategies, and work-holding methods. Familiar with G-code, machine control systems (Fanuc). Practical understanding of lean principles, set-up reduction, and process optimisation. Commitment to health, safety, and environmental standards. Strong problem-solving ability and attention to detail. Excellent English communication and teamwork skills.
