• Carrying out first-off and in-process inspection.
• Using precision measuring equipment to ensure components meet specification.
• Identifying and reporting quality or machining issues.
• Working to tight tolerances and aerospace quality standards.
• Maintaining accurate production and quality records.
• Maintaining a clean, safe and organised working environment.
• Working efficiently to meet production requirements without compromising quality.

The key requirement for this position is genuine hands-on CNC setting and operating experience on either Okuma or Mazak Integrex machinery.

This role will suit an experienced CNC engineer who is confident working with specialist components and is comfortable taking responsibility for setting machines and producing quality parts.

You will ideally have:

• Previous experience as a CNC Setter Operator within a precision engineering environment.
• Okuma or Mazak Integrex experience - essential.
• Strong CNC machining and setting experience.
• The ability to read and interpret engineering drawings.
• Experience setting tooling, workholding and machine offsets.
• Experience using inspection and measuring equipment.
• A good understanding of machining processes and cutting parameters.
• Strong attention to detail and a quality-focused approach.
• The ability to work independently and as part of a skilled production team.
• Aerospace experience would be advantageous, although strong precision engineering experience will be considered.
