Job description

As a CAM Programmer you will be responsible for creating, modifying, and validating CNC programs to support ongoing production. Working closely with machinists and engineering teams, you will ensure that components are manufactured efficiently and to the highest standards. This is a hands‑on role requiring strong technical capability, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.

• Develop, modify, and optimise CNC programs for complex components, primarily for 5-axis milling machines.
• Support weekend machining operations by troubleshooting and resolving programming or process issues.
• Perform toolpath verification and simulation to ensure safe, efficient machining.
• Collaborate with machinists to refine programs and improve cycle times and surface finishes.
• Interpret engineering drawings, CAD models, and technical specifications accurately.
• Ensure all programs and setup documentation are correctly recorded and maintained.
• Adhere to established programming standards and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.
• Provide feedback to weekday programming and engineering teams to improve manufacturability and process efficiency.
