- A growth path toward CNC Programmer, working alongside our CAD team
- Steady, full-time work — our production schedule is booked well ahead, with overtime available
- Stone experience is a plus, not a requirement — skilled CNC router operators from cabinet, millwork, solid-surface, or other fabrication shops are welcome

About Alpha Granite
Alpha Granite has been Central Texas’s trusted countertop fabrication and installation company since 2003. As an Accredited Natural Stone Company through the Natural Stone Institute, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of quality, craftsmanship, and shop safety. We are not a big-box or high-volume production shop — we specialize in high-end residential and commercial work, the small, custom, intricate projects that other fabricators will not touch. Our material mix is increasingly premium natural stone like quartzite, alongside quartz and granite.
Our shop runs modern GMM and CMS equipment, including 5-axis and single-table CNC saws, a waterjet, multiple CNC machines, edge and face polishers, and Slabsmith for slab scanning and inventory. We run a fully wet shop and take dust control, masks, and safety compliance seriously — it is a core part of how we operate.
About the Role
We are hiring a CNC Operator to run our CNC machines on the production floor. You will take approved programs from our CAD department, confirm they match the drawings and the material, and turn premium stone slabs into accurate, finished pieces. On custom, high-value work, the operator is the last check before the cut — so precision, care, and pride in the result matter here.
