- Collaborate with engineering, production and quality teams to resolve programming and manufacturing challenges.
- Identify opportunities to improve cycle times, material utilisation and machine efficiency.
- Ensure compliance with quality standards and business management systems.
- Maintain excellent housekeeping standards and actively contribute to 5S and continuous improvement initiatives.
The Candidate
- Previous experience as a Laser Programmer, CNC Programmer or similar manufacturing programming role.
- Strong working knowledge of Tru Tops offline programming software.
- Experience programming Trumpf laser and punch machinery is highly desirable.
- Good understanding of sheet metal fabrication processes and manufacturing techniques.
- Confident reading and interpreting engineering drawings.
- Experience producing efficient nests and optimising material utilisation.
- Analytical mindset with excellent problem-solving skills.
