CNC Programmer / CNC Operator

Platsa AB · Vollzeit

Gothenburg, Schweden

Do you have several years of experience in CNC machining and are comfortable independently programming, planning, and finding solutions for complex parts? Do you want to work in an operation where production is rarely repetitive and where your technical expertise and problem-solving skills are truly put to use? Cliff Models is now seeking an experienced CNC operator/CNC programmer who wants to work with unique assignments, advanced machining, and great variety in their daily work. CNC Operator As a CNC operator/CNC programmer at Cliff Models, you'll have a qualified and independent role where you work through the entire process – from analyzing customer specifications and planning manufacturing to programming, machining, and follow-up. Unlike traditional series production, Cliff Models primarily works with unique assignments. This means you need to be able to assess how a part should best be manufactured, choose an appropriate machining strategy, and independently program based on the specifications you receive. You will work with: CNC programming and planning Planning of machining strategies and method selection Fixture design and adaptation Setup, installation, and operation of machines Production control and monitoring Quality control and follow-up of finished parts Troubleshooting and optimization of manufacturing processes You work with both traditional machine tools, advanced free-form equipment, and 5-axis CNC machines. Since assignments vary, you collaborate closely with colleagues on technical solutions while being expected to independently manage your own projects from specifications to finished part. The position is full-time, Monday–Friday, 06:30–15:30, with the possibility of flexible hours. What do we offer you? At Cliff Models, you'll have a technically stimulating role where programming, problem-solving, and creativity are a natural part of the work. Here, CNC machining isn't about running the same part day after day – you're continuously faced with new assignments, materials, and technical challenges. You'll be part of an inclusive and flat organization with short decision paths, open-minded leadership, and great opportunities to influence how work is carried out. For the right person, there are also good opportunities to continue developing and take on greater technical responsibility over time. To make daily work easier, Cliff Models offers flexible working hours, with the option to start or finish an hour earlier or later. Who are we looking for? We're looking for someone who has already built solid experience in CNC machining and programming and who feels confident independently taking on new manufacturing assignments. You are accustomed to working from drawings, models, or other technical specifications and can translate them into a functioning manufacturing process. You need to think beyond just machine operation – analyze the assignment, plan the approach, program, and solve the technical challenges that arise along the way. Since Cliff Models works with many unique and customer-tailored assignments, we believe you'll do best if you're solution-oriented, technically curious, and enjoy finding new ways to solve problems. You work in a structured and careful manner but are flexible when circumstances change. You should also appreciate collaboration. Solutions and ideas are discussed together here, which means we're looking for someone who enjoys contributing their experience while being open to others' perspectives.
