Job Description
Are you someone who loves making things? Do you get a buzz from figuring out how to turn drawings and ideas into real, tangible products using your hands, tools, and machines?
At Cristofoli International, we specialise in high-end, lightweight stone fabrication for exciting projects in the UK and internationally — from sleek stone countertops in Emirates aircraft bars to architectural cladding on buildings in central London.
We’re after someone who’s not just technically capable — but curious, driven, and genuinely excited by the process of engineering and making. You enjoy variety, thrive on responsibility, and take pride in quality craftsmanship.
We’re a dynamic close-knit team and are looking for a hands-on, proactive, and creative CNC Machinist. You might have a background in manufacturing, machining, engineering, or fabrication, but above all, we’re looking for someone who’s a positive, motivated team player and who sees challenges as opportunities to improve.
Stone industry experience is a bonus — but not essential. Full training is available for the right candidate with the right attitude.
What makes this job exciting?
* You’ll be an integral part of the team working closely with our in-house design and production team — bringing ideas to life and figuring out how to make things work for a wide range of projects.
* You’ll work on unique, one-off projects — no two days are the same. One week you might be making luxury bespoke stone doors; the next, precision-cutting panels for high-rise façades in London.
* If you’re the kind of person who gets satisfaction from standing back at the end of the day and saying “I made that,” you’ll feel right at home here.
* We use a mix of traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge CNC/CAD machinery, so you’ll be working with both your hands and your head.
Who we're looking for:
* Someone with an engineering mindset — you love working things out, thinking in 3D, and making things the right way.
* Hands-on skills — whether it’s tools, machines, or materials, you’re confident and curious about how to use them to create something exceptional.
* 3D CAD skills – Ideally you have some experience working with 3D CAD (e.g. Alphacam, Fusion 360, or similar).
* Experience working with machines – We have 5-axis CNC machines and a 3-axis waterjet cutting machine in-house. The role will include the programming, setup, machine operation, and engineering thinking required to use these machines.
* A positive attitude and collaborative spirit — we’re a small, dynamic team where everyone contributes.
* An eye for detail and a natural problem-solver — you enjoy the challenge of figuring things out and making things better.
* You don’t need to know everything — we offer full training and support — but a willingness to learn and a passion for making are essential.
What we offer:
* A competitive salary based on your skills and experience
* 20 days holiday + bank holidays
* Free on-site parking
* Company pension scheme
* Opportunities for growth and skills development as the business expands
