Job description

Run our Biesse, the industrial CNC at the heart of the workshop — loading boards, running the day's nested sheets, looking after the tooling and checking every part that comes off the bed.

Pay

£20–25 per hour, depending on experience. Full-time, on site at Collier Street, Tonbridge.

What you'll do

• Run the day's nested sheets on our Biesse CNC, loading and unloading full 8Ô and 10Ô boards of HDF and MDF.
• Set up and change our diamond tooling, and keep the tool carousel ready for every door style we sell.
• Check parts as they come off the bed against their drawings — sizes, pockets, profiles and hinge boring.
• Label and stack finished parts for the sanding bench, and flag anything damaged so it goes back in the queue to be remade.
• Keep the machine and its bed clean and well maintained.

What we're looking for

• Experience running a CNC router, ideally nesting sheet material in a joinery or panel shop.
• Confident reading drawings and measuring accurately — our doors are square to ±0.2mm.
• Careful and methodical: you'd rather stop the machine than cut a sheet you're unsure of.
• Biesse experience is a bonus, not a requirement.
