Production Engineer – CAD/CAM & CNC Programming

Sevaan Group

We’re looking for an experienced Production Engineer to join our manufacturing team.

This is a hands-on role combining production engineering, CAD/CAM and CNC programming, Design for Manufacture (DFM), customer collaboration and programming team leadership.

If you enjoy solving manufacturing challenges, working directly with customers and taking a product from design through to production, this could be a great opportunity.

About the role

As our Production Engineer, you’ll work closely with our Design, Estimating, Programming and Production teams to improve manufacturing processes and ensure products can be manufactured safely, accurately and efficiently.

Importantly, this is not a purely supervisory engineering role. You’ll be expected to remain hands-on with CAD/CAM and CNC programming, while also supporting and leading our programming team.

You’ll also have the opportunity to work directly with customers on Design for Manufacture, helping them turn their concepts and designs into practical, high-quality and manufacturable solutions.

Key responsibilities

- Develop, evaluate and improve manufacturing processes and workflows.

- Create and modify CAD/CAM programs for CNC manufacturing equipment.

- Undertake hands-on CNC programming and programming support as required.

- Review customer drawings, CAD models and specifications and translate them into efficient manufacturing solutions.

- Work directly with customers to provide Design for Manufacture (DFM) advice and improve manufacturability.





- Assist customers with product development from initial design review and prototyping through to production.

- Work closely with Design, Estimating, Programming and Production teams to resolve manufacturing challenges.

- Optimise programs, tooling, nesting, setups and manufacturing methods to improve production efficiency and reduce waste.

- Ensure CNC programs and Bills of Materials (BOMs) are accurate before production commences.

- Lead, support and mentor the programming team.

- Allocate programming tasks to support project and production schedules.

- Review complex and critical CNC programs for accuracy, efficiency and manufacturability.

- Provide hands-on technical support and troubleshoot manufacturing and programming issues on the factory floor.

- Develop programming standards, work instructions and manufacturing best practices.

- Drive continuous improvement across programming and production engineering.

- Support the introduction, commissioning and integration of new manufacturing equipment.

About you

To succeed in this role, you’ll ideally have:

- A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design or a related technical field.

- Significant production engineering experience,



ideally within a sheet metal manufacturing workplace.

- Strong practical CAD/CAM programming experience.

- Demonstrated CNC programming capability – you must be comfortable creating, reviewing, modifying and troubleshooting programs yourself.

- Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, engineering drawings and tolerances.

- A good understanding of Design for Manufacture (DFM) principles.

- The ability to work directly with customers, understand their design requirements and provide practical technical advice to improve manufacturability.

- The ability to help develop designs from concept through to an efficient and reliable manufacturing solution.

- Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

- The ability to work effectively across design, programming, engineering and shop-floor production teams.

- Leadership or mentoring experience within a programming, engineering or production environment is highly regarded.

Why join Sevaan?

This role gives you the opportunity to be involved across the full manufacturing journey – from customer design and DFM through to CAD/CAM programming and production on the factory floor.

You’ll be able to remain technically hands-on while also influencing manufacturing processes, supporting customers and helping develop the capability of our programming team.
