About us
Cutting Edge Stoneworks fabricates and installs custom granite, quartz, quartzite, marble and porcelain countertops for homeowners, builders and designers across the Lake Norman area. Our founder’s standard is simple: “If it’s not good enough for me, it’s not good enough for the client.” Every counter top starts at the saw, so our saw operators set the quality for everything that follows.

The role
You’ll run our BACA sawjet and GMM Extra 400 bridge saw, cutting counter top pieces from customer-approved Slabsmith layouts. You’ll protect the slab, protect the layout the customer signed off on, and hand our CNC team clean, accurate pieces ready for the next step.
