Prepare and optimise CAM files (e.g., toolpaths, nesting, cutting strategies) to ensure efficient use of materials and machine time. Configure and maintain machine setup parameters in line with production requirements and job specifications. Verify and simulate toolpaths to detect and resolve errors before releasing programs to the production floor. Collaborate with the production team to ensure CAM outputs align with manufacturing capabilities and constraints. Support resolution of any technical issues or discrepancies arising during CNC machining related to programming. Communicate with CAD technicians regarding any missing or unclear information in drawings that may affect programming accuracy. Ensure that all CAM outputs meet Right First Time (RFT) standards to support high-quality production and reduce rework. Maintain organised KPI records of all programs, setup sheets, and documentation for traceability and repeatability. Adhere to all safety protocols, company policies, and quality standards throughout the programming process. Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives to enhance programming efficiency and production throughput. Essential Requirements Strong ability to read and interpret CAD drawings and digital templates for conversion into precise CNC programs. Excellent time management and organisational skills, with the ability to prioritise tasks in a high-volume production environment. High level of numerical accuracy and attention to detail in programming and material optimisation. Effective communicator with the ability to collaborate across teams, including CAD, production, sales, and subcontractors. Results-driven, with a commitment to achieving deadlines and meeting quality standards consistently. Adaptable and open to change, especially in response to design revisions, technical challenges, or urgent production needs. Demonstrates resilience, with a proactive and flexible approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement. Strong analytical skills and the ability to develop logical, efficient machining strategies and solutions. Understanding of the importance of production performance metrics and quality KPIs, including RFT and OTIF. Awareness of customer expectations and a clear understanding of the cost and impact of programming errors or poor quality.
