This role is central to the production of high-quality equipment and combines advanced CNC operation with hands-on rope and component fabrication.
About the Role:
As part of the manufacturing team, you’ll be responsible for producing plastic components using CNC routers and assisting in the preparation and assembly of rope-based elements. From cutting HDPE sheets and nesting shapes, to assembling complex rope components, this is a multi-faceted role for someone who enjoys working across materials and tasks.
Key Responsibilities:
CNC Router Operation (Plastics Department)
- Program, set up, and operate CNC routers for HDPE, aluminium, and similar materials
- Nest parts for optimal material usage and minimise waste
- Load/unload sheet materials and maintain cutter tooling
- Finish routed components with edge trimming, hole cleaning, and sorting
- Track production output to meet project timelines
- Maintain workspace and assist with waste extraction and tooling care
Ropework & Component Fabrication
- Cut, assemble, and finish wire-cored rope for nets and structural components
- Read and interpret technical drawings for accurate part fabrication
- Drill, linish, and prepare rope, plastic, steel, and fibreglass components
- Conduct quality checks and ensure parts are despatch-ready
- Coordinate batch manufacturing of rope components and maintain stock levels
What We're Looking For:
- Proven experience operating CNC routers, especially in plastics (HDPE preferred)
- Skilled in ropework or wire rope component assembly
