What CNC programmer vacancies do you recruit for?

We recruit CNC programmers and CAM engineers across the Gulf for 3-axis and 5-axis milling, turning and turn-mill work, using CAM packages such as Mastercam, Fusion 360, NX, PowerMill and Esprit.

Are there CNC programmer jobs near me in Dubai and the UAE?

Yes. We regularly place CNC programmers with shops in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, as well as across Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman.

Do CNC programmer jobs require machining experience?

Most employers prefer programmers who have hands-on machining or setup experience, because proving out programs on the floor matters. Strong CAM skills paired with shop-floor know-how are highly valued.

Are these full-time or contract CNC programmer roles?

Both. We recruit for permanent CNC programmer jobs as well as contract and contract-to-hire programming assignments across the region.
