Filipino CNC operators for international employers

Filipino CNC operators and machinists combine precision-machining training with the discipline of high-volume production. We source operators for lathes, milling and machining centres, tested on your control system.

How we test cnc operators

Practical assessment on set-up and first-part-off, blueprint reading and measuring; we mirror your control system where possible. You approve the shortlist yourself — in Manila with our team, or online with recorded assessments.

Where we deliver

We place cnc operators with employers across the EU, the UK, Norway, the Gulf, Australia and New Zealand. The permit route and timeline depend on the destination — see the country guides for the process in your market, or tell us the destination and we confirm feasibility before you commit.

How the process works

  1. You brief us: number of cnc operators, process mix or specialisation, start date, destination.
  2. Prime Search sources and trade-tests candidates in Manila; you receive profiles with test results.
  3. You interview and approve — on-site or online.
  4. We coordinate the destination permit — under your power of attorney where the law allows it — or through a licensed immigration adviser where the destination regulates immigration advice (Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom) — and run the DMW/MWO documentation in parallel.
  5. Arrival, local onboarding and registration, integration support — the employment contract with you as direct employer is signed and verified before departure.

Frequently asked questions

  • Operators or setters?

    Both. Tell us the split and we screen for set-up capability separately.

  • Which controls?

    Fanuc dominates in Philippine industry; Siemens and Heidenhain experience is available from candidates with export-manufacturing backgrounds.

  • Can they read European drawings?

    Yes — ISO drawings are standard in Philippine technical education.
