A rising star in the CNC machinery market in the UK is looking for a Senior Technical Manager who will provide expertise to allow the company to reach new levels. The ideal candidate would be from a service, repairs, and installations background in heavy machinery and the CNC sector. This is mostly office-based work to supervise our team of engineers and warehouse operatives. Some site visits for surveys before installations or during installations may be required. If you have a keen eye for quality, improvements, creating, and keeping up to standard good systems to streamline the company’s operations, we need you. Your vast knowledge will be appreciated to help office staff with sorting out service calls, scheduling visits, and generally trying to help our clients ASAP to keep them operational.

As we are a very lean and relatively small company, you will be directly involved with the MD where normal day-to-day conversations are still alive. No red tape, no small print, no silly restrictions – we are just down-to-earth people who are lessons to team members.

The FABERTEC GROUP UK is quickly becoming a leader in affordable CNC solutions in the router and fiber laser cutting sector. We are seeing a huge interest from clients who see the value of affordable lasers that don’t have to cost £500k anymore but are cut with the same quality as expensive ones. This new shift in the machinery market allows us to grow, and with growth, new team members will be welcome to help our clients with great service and solutions.
