The Role:

  • Setting/running multi-axis CNC machines
  • Manual machining on mills / lathes as required
  • Producing prototypes, one-offs and small batch components to tight tolerances
  • Monday-Thursday 08:00-17:00, Friday 08:00-14:00, with overtime paid at 1.5x


The Person:

  • Experience setting and operating CNC machinery (multi-axis), plus manual mills / lathes
  • Confident reading and interpreting engineering drawings
  • Own transport essential
