CNC Machinist, Production QC/QA, Machine Operator
We are a market‑leading specialist in the manufacture of ultra‑precision, high‑performance components. We don't work with your run‑of‑the‑mill metals; instead, we engineer complex components from advanced, high‑strength technical materials designed to withstand extreme environments. Our products are vital to pioneering industries, including aerospace, medical, semiconductor, and defense.
If you are a skilled CNC Turner who loves a technical challenge and enjoys working to exceptionally tight tolerances, you'll fit right in.
The RoleWe are looking for a skilled CNC Turner who can Program, Set, and Operate Mazak CNC Lathes.
Because our materials are highly specialized, this isn't a "button-pushing" high‑volume job. You will be working on low‑volume, high‑value runs, requiring a methodical approach, deep machining knowledge, and a high level of attention to detail.
Key Responsibilities- Program, set, and operate Mazak CNC Lathes using Mazatrol (and/or ISO) controls.
- Set up tooling, choose correct speeds/feeds, and prove out new programs safely.
- Manufacture low-volume, high-precision parts down to micron-level tolerances.
- Interpret technical engineering drawings and geometric tolerances (GD&T).
- Perform self‑inspection on parts using micrometers, verniers, and shadow graphs to ensure flawless quality.
- Collaborate with the engineering team to optimize machining processes for challenging, non‑standard materials.
- The Mazak Expert:
Strong, hands‑on experience programming, setting, and operating Mazak CNC Lathes (Mazatrol controls are essential). - Precision‑Focused:
Proven experience working to extremely tight tolerances (microns matter here). - Material Savvy:
While experience with our specific high‑performance materials is a bonus, a background machining challenging materials (like superalloys, exotics, or hard plastics) is highly desirable. - The Problem Solver:
Someone who can look at a complex drawing, figure out the best machining strategy, and execute it independently.
- Clean & Modern Environment:
Work in a clean, temperature‑controlled, state‑of‑the‑art facility. - Competitive Pay:
Excellent hourly rate with plenty of overtime potential. - Great Benefits:
Generous pension scheme, health cash plan, and [Insert Number] days holiday. - Stability & Growth:
We are growing rapidly, meaning genuine opportunities for long‑term career progression and technical training.
