CNC Cutter

Build the Components That Become the Finished Boat

Boater’s World Manufacturing Group is seeking a dependable and detail-oriented CNC Cutter to join our growing marine manufacturing operation in Chocowinity, NC.

The CNC Cutter is responsible for operating Computer Numerical Control (CNC) cutting equipment used to produce boat components and materials according to established specifications, digital patterns, and production requirements.

This is a hands-on manufacturing position where accuracy, consistency, quality, and safety matter every day. The ideal candidate is comfortable operating computerized production equipment, following precise measurements and work instructions, inspecting finished cuts, and maintaining an organized production area.

Previous CNC or automated cutting experience is strongly preferred; experience within boat manufacturing, composites, upholstery, woodworking, fabrication, or a similar production environment is a plus.
