About Three H

Three H is a leading manufacturer of commercial office furniture specializing in laminate. Rooted in Northern Ontario, Three H partners with manufacture sales representatives and dealers across North America to create spaces where people feel they belong.

We're a growing company with Northern roots, and we care as much about how we treat people as about what we make. This role sits right at the heart of that promise: it's where product designs become the precise programs that bring our furniture to life on the shop floor.

The Opportunity

As a CNC Programmer, you create, maintain, and support the machine programs that turn panel stock into furniture components on our CNC boring and routing equipment. This role is the link between product data and the production floor: programs need to be accurate, ready on time, and clear enough that operators can run them right the first time.

Working closely with the Senior CNC Programmer, Machining, Product Support, and Product Development, you’ll handle standard and custom programming, support operators with setups and troubleshooting, and keep the program library organized, current, and backed up.

It's a role for someone who is equally comfortable reading a drawing and standing beside an operator at the machine, and who knows that a good program is one that runs right the first time.

What You’ll Do

CNC Programming & Program Management

· Create and edit CNC programs from drawings, 3D models, and product data for point-to-point boring and routing machines.

· Build and maintain automated programs for standard products that generate from product codes, using our product data standards.

· Modify standard programs for customer specials and provide operators with explicit instructions for those components.

· Update programs and macros to reflect machine hardware or software updates, tooling changes, and new features.

· Save programs and macros to the designated backed-up server location, following file naming and revision practices.

· Register programs in the database with accurate machine run times for scheduling and costing.

Production Support

· Prioritize corrections to programs already in production to keep the floor running.





· Complete lot reviews so special machining requirements reach production through labels and machine notes.

· Perform test runs and first-piece checks on new or changed programs; troubleshoot and adjust until parts meet specification.

· Set up and operate CNC equipment as needed to prove out programs and support operators.

· Work with the Machining Supervisor and operators to resolve program-related production issues quickly.

Specials & New Product Support

· Provide manufacturability input to Product Support and Product Development on custom products and new lines.

· Support the transition of engineering and programming workflows to SolidWorks / SWOOD.

Training & Knowledge Sharing

· Show CNC operators how to run new or complex programs and what to watch for.

· Support onboarding of new programmers and operators under the direction of the Senior CNC Programmer.

· Keep skills current as machines, software, and processes change.

· Perform other related duties as required.

What You’ll Bring

· 2+ years of CNC programming experience, ideally in panel processing, furniture, millwork, or cabinetry, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

· Experience with CNC programming software (e.g., Biesse Works, Homag woodWOP, SCM Maestro).

· Working knowledge of SolidWorks or other CAD/3D modelling software. SWOOD or AutoCAD experience is an asset.

· College diploma or certificate in CNC/machining, mechanical technology, or woodworking / cabinetmaking technology is considered an asset, but not required.

· Knowledge of furniture construction and hardware (drawer slides, hinges, RTA fittings, locks) is an asset.

Also Valuable

· Reads and interprets technical drawings, tolerances, and 3D models accurately.

· Comfortable with shop math: measurement, geometry, coordinates, and metric/imperial conversion.

· Understands tooling, feeds and speeds, and how panel materials (particleboard, MDF, laminates) behave when machined.

· Detail-oriented.



Checks work before it goes to the floor.

· Communicates clearly and respectfully with operators, supervisors, and engineering, including on a noisy production floor.

· Comfortable with computers, ERP systems, and organized file management.

· Works well independently and as part of a team and can manage competing priorities.

· Willing to learn and adapt to new machines, software, and processes.

Health & Safety

· Work in accordance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act, O. Reg. 851 (Industrial Establishments), and Three H health and safety policies and procedures.

· Report all hazards, incidents, near misses, and injuries to your supervisor right away.

· Wear required personal protective equipment, including hearing and eye protection on the production floor.

· Follow lockout and machine guarding procedures when setting up, testing, or troubleshooting equipment.

· Write and test programs with operator safety in mind.

· Follow WHMIS requirements and take part in health and safety training.

· Support the Joint Health and Safety Committee and keep work areas clean and safe.

Working Environment

· Time is split between a typical office setting and the production floor.

· Exposure to noise, wood dust, and seasonal temperature changes when on production floor.

· Extended periods of sitting at a computer, plus standing and walking on the production floor.

· Occasional pushing, pulling, and lifting of panels and tooling up to 60 lbs.
