This opportunity would suit a skilled machinist who enjoys technical challenges, takes pride in their work and wants to contribute beyond day-to-day machine operation.

Key Responsibilities

• Set up, operate and maintain CNC milling and turning machines, alongside conventional manual mills and lathes.
• Manufacture precision components from engineering drawings and technical specifications.
• Utilise CAM software to support machining operations, including toolpath preparation, verification and execution.
• Carry out machine setups, including workholding, datum setting and work offsets.
• Select appropriate cutting tools, feeds, speeds and machining strategies for different materials.
• Machine a variety of engineering materials, including metals, alloys and plastics.
• Conduct dimensional inspections using precision measuring equipment to ensure components meet required tolerances.
• Identify and resolve machining or quality issues, including component rework where necessary.
• Support the maintenance and general upkeep of machinery and workshop equipment.
• Collaborate with engineers to improve component designs, manufacturability and production efficiency.
• Assist with mechanical assembly, prototype builds and wider workshop activities when required.
• Contribute to workshop improvements, equipment installations and coordination with external suppliers or contractors.
• Take a proactive approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement across manufacturing operations.

Skills & Experience

Essential:

• Years' experience in CNC machining, precision engineering or a similar manufacturing environment.
• Strong practical experience operating CNC mills and/or lathes.
• Experience using manual milling and turning equipment.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, technical specifications and manufacturing tolerances.
• Understanding of CAM software, machining setups, cutting tools, feeds and speeds.
• Experience machining a range of engineering materials.
• Competence using precision measuring equipment, including micrometers, vernier calipers, bore gauges and dial indicators.
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to producing high-quality components.
• A practical engineering background, ideally supported by an apprenticeship or relevant technical qualification.

Desirable:

• Experience with Hurco CNC machinery or WinMax controls.
• Familiarity with CNC laser cutting or pipe-bending equipment.
• Experience manufacturing prototypes, one-off components or low-volume production parts.
• Previous involvement in mechanical assembly, equipment builds or workshop installations.
• Experience working closely with design engineers to improve manufacturability.
• A genuine interest in hands-on engineering, including personal projects, fabrication or mechanical builds.
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with the confidence to suggest improvements and resolve technical challenges independently.

What's on Offer

• Competitive salary of £40,000–£60,000 depending on experience.
• Private healthcare.
• Generous annual leave arrangements.
• Relocation support where applicable.
• Access to modern, high-quality manufacturing machinery and equipment.
• Opportunity to work on technically challenging engineering projects.
