I am currently working with a rapidly growing sheet metal fabrication client in Cannock, who are now looking to expand their Engineering team to include a CAD/CAM Programmer.

Reporting to the Engineering Team Leader, the CAD/CAM Programmer will be responsible for:

  • Utilisation of MRP software to document work order nests
  • Assigning material to nests created to maintain full traceability for ISO 9001
  • Raise PO's and booking in material on MRP software.
  • Organising own workload – including daily checks on work orders not nested to keep on top of nesting OTIF KPI
  • Ensure works orders and associated nesting programmes are issued in accordance with customers deadlines.
  • Interpret engineering drawings – taking note of grain directions, start/stop points etc.
  • Maintain meticulous program control when using repeat nests.
  • Stay current with advancements in laser cutting technology and software tools, implementing new techniques and methodologies as appropriate.

The ideal candidate for the CAD/CAM Programmer will preferably have the following qualities, qualifications, and experience:

  • Background within a laser / fabrication/ sheet metal manufacturing environment preferred.

  • Focused on delivering high standard customer service both internally and externally.
  • Experience in TruTops is advantageous (or another laser-based CAM software)

  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings.
  • Knowledge on engineering processes and materials
  • High level of numerical and analytical ability
  • Competent in all aspects of Microsoft Office
  • Team player, self-motivated

The CAD/CAM Programmer will manage and take ownership of all laser programming tasks; in the long term there will be opportunity to progress in this role for the right candidate.

In return, the CAD/CAM Programmer can expect to receive a competitive salary, work a straight day shift, the hours being 07:30-16:00 Monday-Thursday and 07:30-13:00 Friday; you will have a flexible holiday entitlement to take when you wish, the company only close at Christmas.
