Looking at kerja luar negara as a CNC setter? A precision manufacturer in Dunedin, New Zealand, is recruiting Senior CNC Machinist Setters. About 30 people work there, producing small runs of many different components for industries including medical and aerospace.
Your days (or nights) would go into setting and running mill-turn, Swiss-type and multi-axis CNC machines on intricate parts with very fine tolerances, where getting the same result every time is the standard. The company wants a self-starter who can be left to work alone, makes good judgement calls and owns the result, without stepping outside its processes. The positions are permanent and full-time, on either day or night shift.
The business holds Accredited Employer status for the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) and says immigration support, sponsorship included, could be on offer for exceptional applicants whose skills, experience and attributes fit closely with what it needs.
Your next step is an English CV that lists the machines you have set, the parts you have made and how you inspected them. Prepare a CNC setter CV with Build AI CV and send it with your application.
