A CNC operator, as the name suggests operates a CNC (computer numerical control) machine, usually this includes loading and unloading workpieces, checking workpieces, setting program datums, setting up jigs and fixtures, replacing worn or broken tooling, cleaning swarf from the machine and basic machine maintenance. Some operators also do programming although this is usually limited to altering a program to suit the tools being used; for example altering a program to give the correct drill depth after changing the drill. The exact duties of a CNC operator varies from one machine shop to another. A CNC programmer actually writes the program that runs the machine although this job is increasingly done by software.

How is a CNC programmer different than a CNC machine operator?

A CNC programmer is supposed to create the programs that the CNC machine operator uses to create components with a CNC machine. Sometimes the operators know more than the programmers. Different machines read different types of programs and are capable of doing different things. The programmer should know this before creating a program and they do this by using programming software (maybe), and the drawings of the components that require manufacturing.
