Take Your CNC Turning Skills to the Next Level

Are you an experienced CNC Turner who enjoys programming, setting and machining complex, precision components?

Join an established and highly regarded precision engineering business where your technical expertise will be valued, you'll work on challenging small-batch projects, and you'll have genuine opportunities to develop your skills and progress your career.



The Role

This is a hands-on, technically challenging position focused on specialist, small-batch precision engineering. You'll take ownership of the machining process, from programming through to finished inspection, rather than simply operating existing programmes.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Programming, setting and operating CNC lathes.

  • Creating and modifying programmes both online and offline.

  • Using Edgecam for offline programming.

  • Working with FANUC controls.

  • Selecting tooling, workholding and cutting parameters.

  • Proving out programmes and setting datums and offsets.

  • Reading engineering drawings and machining complex components to tight tolerances.

  • Carrying out first-off and in-process inspections.

  • Troubleshooting machining issues and ensuring components are produced right first time.



About You

You'll be a confident, self-sufficient CNC Turner with strong programming and setting experience and a passion for precision engineering.

Essential requirements:

  • Proven CNC turning, programming, setting and operating experience.

  • Edgecam experience - essential.

  • FANUC controls experience - essential.

  • Small-batch, high-precision machining experience.

  • Ability to interpret detailed engineering drawings and work to tight tolerances.

  • Strong problem-solving skills and excellent attention to detail.

Experience with complex components, varied CNC turning machinery, tooling selection and CAD/CAM systems would also be advantageous.



What's on Offer?

  • Permanent, Monday-Friday day-shift position.

  • Competitive salary based on experience.

  • Friendly, supportive engineering environment.

  • Varied, technically challenging work on specialist components.

  • Opportunity to develop your programming and machining expertise.

  • Genuine career progression within an established precision engineering business.



Apply Today

If you're an experienced CNC Turner with Edgecam and FANUC experience and want a role where you can use your skills, take ownership and work on something more challenging than repetitive production, we'd love to hear from you.
