• Fee

  £900

The broad purpose of the occupation is to cut specified material components by hand or by machine using templates or measurements and then prepare the components for assembly. In preparation for cutting, a material cutter will select the materials following instructions, check the materials for quality issues, and plan, measure and calculate material usage ensuring waste minimalisation. They are then ready to cut components to meet the required quality, quantity, and specifications.

They have a role in ensuring effective handover to the next stage, including bundling and labelling and completing records and documentation such as production/cutting sheets or work dockets.
