CNC Operative

Poole | Up to £17 per hour

If you’re a hands‑on CNC Operative who prefers clear processes, consistent work, and a team that gets on with the job, this is a role worth considering. Based in an on‑site machine shop within a well‑established manufacturing business, this is a straightforward opportunity with a genuine route into permanent employment for the right person.

As a CNC Operative, you will benefit from:

  • Consistent summer workload with reliable hours in a busy production environment
  • A small, collaborative team where you’ll be a valued part of the operation
  • Exposure to different fabrication processes
  • A structured role with established processes and no programming requirement

As a CNC Operative, your responsibilities will include:

  • Loading solid‑grade laminate boards onto the nesting CNC machine ready for cutting
  • Running pre‑programmed cutting cycles and monitoring the machine throughout operation
  • Listening for signs of machine stress or cutting strain and acting accordingly
  • Removing finished boards from the machine and labelling output for dispatch
  • Maintaining an organised, safe working area within the machine shop

As a CNC Operative, your experience will include:

  • One to two years of experience as a CNC Operative or in a comparable machine operating role
  • Ability to recognise when a cut is under strain through sound and machine behaviour
  • Physical fitness and the ability to handle heavy panels safely and consistently
  • A background in wood machining, fabrication, or a related manufacturing discipline is desirable
  • A reliable, steady approach to production work with strong attention to detail
