Hands on work around fibre laser heads
Our shop in Spartan, Kempton Park is a working place, not a quiet office. The people we hire handle fibre laser cutting heads, nozzles, focus and collimator lenses, protective windows and ceramic rings for sheet-metal cutting machines, with attention to fitment, cleanliness and repeatable setup.
We value practical judgement. A good fit in this team understands how a dirty protective window can distort a cut, how nozzle wear affects the gas stream, and how a small focus shift changes edge quality on thin and thick sheet alike.
- Bench service work on cutting heads and consumables
- On-site alignment and setup support at customer premises
- Inspection of seals, ceramic rings and gas paths
- Careful handling of lenses and optical parts
Roles we recruit for in the workshop and on the road
We hire for a few different lanes. Some people work close to the bench, some spend more time on site, and some keep the parts side moving so the right nozzle, lens or spare head is ready when it is needed.
The team also includes people who can speak plainly with sheet-metal shops about capacitive height sensing, focus settings, cleaning routines and the sort of small wear that builds up on a busy cutting line. No one here needs theatre, just clear work and good records.
- Bench Service Technician for head service, lens cleaning and rebuilds
- Field Alignment Technician for on-site head alignment and checks
- Parts Sales Consultant for consumables and spare head preparation
- Technical Support Lead for fault tracing and workshop guidance
What the day usually asks of a capable person
A strong candidate works neatly and notices what others miss. In this trade, a missed ceramic ring crack or a poor nozzle centre can waste material fast, especially on jobs where the sheet is expensive and the cut quality matters.
We look for people who can follow a process without becoming rigid. The work may include checking focus setting, cleaning optical surfaces, inspecting the head seal, or testing the capacitive sensor so the machine tracks sheet height properly on the next run.
- Care with optics and contamination control
- Comfort using hand tools and measuring equipment
- Understanding of sheet-metal cutting conditions
- Good habits around notes, parts and job handover
People who fit the pace of this team
Raytool serves customers in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Cape Town, Rustenburg and the East Rand, so jobs can move between local bench work and field visits. That means clear planning, good transport habits and a willingness to work through details on site when a head needs careful alignment.
We appreciate people who treat equipment with respect and customers with the same steadiness. A technician, coordinator or parts person who keeps the workspace orderly usually makes the whole operation run cleaner, especially when several heads or consumables are moving through the shop at once.
- Comfort working with stainless, mild steel and aluminium cutting setups
- Respect for clean handling around lenses and windows
- Willingness to learn from service notes and field conditions
- Stable communication with the rest of the team
How to send your CV
If you want to join us, send your CV through our enquiry form on the contact page and note the role that fits your experience. If you have workshop, field service or parts experience, include the machines, cutting heads or consumables you have worked with and the areas where you have done the most hands-on work.
We also welcome people with strong mechanical sense who are still building experience in fibre laser support. The best applications are clear, direct and honest about what you can do with bench work, on-site checks and day-to-day customer handling.
What the team protects every day
Our work depends on clean optics, careful settings and steady service habits. That is true whether the task is a protective window replacement, a nozzle centring check, a gas path inspection or a full head service on the bench.
People who join us learn that small details matter. A clean lens seat, the right ceramic ring, and a sound capacitive height check all feed into cleaner cuts and less wasted time on the shop floor.
- Consistency in every service step
- Respect for optical parts and contact surfaces
- Awareness of how field conditions affect setup
- Focus on practical results rather than chatter
