All About the Role
This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic production team operating in a high-volume, fast-paced environment. This role is not a design role.

You will be responsible for generating programs for a variety of profile cutting equipment. You’ll play a key role in ensuring production runs smoothly by delivering precise, machine-ready files tailored to different machinery and job requirements. Strong attention to detail and a commitment to excellent customer service are essential, as is the ability to manage multiple tasks and meet tight deadlines.
Specific tasks include:
1. Program and prepare files for a variety of plate profiling equipment (e.g., plasma, laser, oxyfuel) ensuring accuracy and efficiency for each machine type.
2. Monitor and manage stock levels of raw materials and consumables, ensuring timely reordering and minimal downtime.
3. Maintain and monitor machine operational readiness.
4. Accurately enter and process customer orders, ensuring correct specifications and delivery requirements are met.
5. Maintain strong attention to detail when interpreting technical drawings and translating them into production-ready programs.

7. Use 2D CAD software (SigmaNest) to create and modify basic technical drawings and layouts.
