Key Responsibilities:

Program, set up and operate our specialised CNC machine.
Read and interpret detailed digital CAD drawings to ensure complete accuracy.
Install, calibrate and secure the correct cutting heads, profiling wheels and tooling configurations for each specific stone material.
Safely locate, load and secure heavy stone slabs onto the machine bed using overhead crane, vacuum lifters or forklift.
Carry out specialised cuts for under-mount sinks, hob cut-outs, tap holes, drainer grooves and complex edge profiles such as bullnose, OGEE, mitred edges etc.
Conduct strict visual and dimensional checks and inspect finished items for scratches, chips, or manufacturing defects, before handing over to fabrication technicians.
Perform basic machine troubleshooting, when required.
Ensure routine daily machine maintenance is undertaken.
Clean the work area at the end of each day.

Required Skills & Experience:

A minimum of 1–2 years of experience operating CNC machinery, specifically within the stone fabrication or worktop industry, is highly preferred.

Comprehensive understanding of how different stones react to cutting speeds and tooling pressures.
Strong baseline mathematical skills to adjust machine offsets and double-check physical measurements against digital templates.
Ability to handle physical labour, stand for extended periods and perform heavy lifting safely.

Workplace Conditions:

The cutting process utilises a constant stream of water to suppress hazardous stone dust, making the working environment inherently wet and noisy.

Standard working hours are: Monday to Friday 7:30am-4:30pm. Overtime may be required during busy periods.

Pay negotiable, depending on experience.
