Full job description

CNC Operator

For over 40 million people in the UK, spectacles are the first thing reached for in the morning, and the last thing taken off at night. Even the overworked smartphone cant seize pole position. But the optical industry hasnt changed in over three centuries. Products are tired, standards are poor, and glasses wearers have got used to sub-standard experiences. The reason we exist is to change this for the better. Were not an eyewear brand. Were a spectacles maker. At the heart of our business are our frames - handmade from the best materials. Designed to be worn, serviced, repaired and renewed.

The CNC Operator plays a key role in Cubitts spectacle-making operation, maintaining the day-to-day running of the CNC machinery in our Kings Cross workshop and ensuring every frame component is cut and finished to the highest standard. Working closely with the workshop team, the role also supports the adoption of new, planned technological improvements over the coming months, helping the team get the most from new equipment and processes. The CNC Operator keeps production running smoothly, safely and efficiently, all while representing Cubitts values and mission with pride. As an agile team this role will also require hands on spectacle making when required and youll be trained in all aspects of spectacle making. This will be split 80/20

CNC Operator tasks will include:

Machine Operation: Set up, operate and monitor the CNC machine(s) to cut and shape frame components to Cubitts' quality and design specifications.
Machine Maintenance: Carry out routine cleaning, maintenance and calibration of CNC equipment, minimising downtime and flagging any faults promptly.
Quality Control: Inspect components at each stage for accuracy and finish, catching and resolving issues before they reach the wider making team.
Technology Adoption: Support the trial and rollout of new CNC technology and process improvements planned over the coming months, testing new equipment and feeding back on performance.
Materials & Stock: Manage day-to-day stock of raw materials used in CNC production, flagging shortages and reordering needs in good time.
Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve routine machine faults, escalating more complex issues to the appropriate specialist or supplier.
Programming & Tooling: Read and adjust CNC programs and tooling set-ups to suit different frame designs and materials.
Health & Safety: Follow safe operating procedures for machinery, PPE and workshop standards at all times.
Records: Keep accurate records of machine output, downtime and maintenance activity.
Collaboration: Work closely with the wider workshop team to keep production flowing smoothly and on schedule.
