Description
Summary:
Join a family-owned business as a CNC Programmer, blending computer-based programming with direct customer interaction in a varied role.
Highlights:
1. Opportunity to learn AlphaCAM programming
2. Engage directly with customers and manage client relationships
3. Varied custom jobs beyond standard kitchen work
Cutshop Northshore is a family-owned business looking for a CNC Programmer to join our small, tight-knit team. We do a lot of kitchen work, but also cut a wide range of custom jobs for both DIY customers and trade clients — so there’s plenty of variety.
We’re a team of three in the factory, and you’ll be one of two programmers, working closely together to keep jobs flowing and customers looked after.
________________________________________
What the role looks like:
This is a mix of computer-based programming and customer interaction. You’ll be:
• Programming jobs using AlphaCAM (training provided for the right person)
• Working from plans, drawings, or sometimes just ideas
• Dealing directly with customers – in person, on the phone, and via email
• Managing repeat clients, all with their own preferences and ways of doing things
• Keeping jobs organised, accurate, and running on time
It’s not just sitting behind a screen — you’re a key part of making sure each job is right from start to finish.
________________________________________
Who this would suit:
• An experienced CNC programmer, or
• A cabinetry/joinery maker ready to step off the tools and into a programming role
If you’ve got strong computer skills, attention to detail, and the confidence to deal with customers, we can teach you the AlphaCAM side.
________________________________________
What we’re looking for:
• Strong attention to detail and solid computer skills
• Confident communicator — comfortable dealing with a range of customers
• Good memory and organisation — clients all have their own preferences
• Adaptable and able to juggle different jobs and priorities
• Practical understanding of cabinetry/joinery (preferred)
• Clear and confident English — a big part of the role is working directly with customers
• Must have the right to work in NZ
