CNC Programmer – Bespoke Joinery & Cabinet Making
We are looking for an experienced CNC Programmer to join a busy joinery and furniture manufacturing environment. The ideal candidate will have a background in bench joinery or cabinet making, with a strong understanding of how bespoke furniture and joinery are manufactured.

Key Responsibilities
- Create CNC programmes and nesting layouts for joinery and cabinetry production.
- Select appropriate tooling and develop efficient machining strategies.
- Standardise machining methods to improve consistency across production.
- Identify opportunities to reduce cycle times, improve efficiency and minimise programming errors.
- Prepare jobs and ensure all necessary information is ready before reaching the machines.
- Support and train CNC operators, sharing knowledge and improving processes.
- Work closely with the workshop team to ensure programmes are accurate and suitable for manufacture.
