Join a tight-knit team at a growing UK manufacturer where continuous improvement is part of the daily routine.

This is your chance to step into a precision engineering environment where quality matters and no two days are the same. You’ll work on small batch components using top-end machinery, with the chance to upskill in CNC alignment and programming over time.

The work culture? Supportive, hands-on and refreshingly different. Daily team huddles, a company-wide lean mindset and a culture of “how can we make this better?” make this a standout opportunity for CNC professionals who want to grow.

• Monday–Friday day shift with no night work
   
• 20 days’ holiday + bank holidays
   
• Overtime paid at standard rate for the first hour and time-and-a-half thereafter
   
• Ongoing training – informal mentoring plus formal CNC courses
   
• Daily lean practices, including stretch sessions and team huddles
   
• A role where your voice and ideas are actually heard

• Operating and setting a Nakamura AS200L twin-spindle lathe (Fanuc controls)
   
• Working to tight tolerances on small batch production
   
• Performing in-process checks using micrometers, verniers, gauges, etc.
   
• Supporting other areas of the workshop when machines are running (such as anodising)
   
• Taking part in continuous improvement activities across tooling, layout, and setups
   
• Developing programming skills over time (Fusion 360 used in-house)
   

CNC Turner Profile:

• 3+ years’ experience operating and setting CNC lathes
   
• Confident with Fanuc controls and basic offsets/setups
