CNC Machinist

We are partnering with a premier, rapidly growing engineering specialist operating from a brand-new, purpose-built facility in Cornwall. Known for their heavy investment in cutting-edge technology and a clean, modern working environment, they pride themselves on delivering high-precision components to diverse industries. This is an exceptional opportunity for skilled machinists looking to advance their careers in a forward-thinking company that genuinely respects work-life balance.

The Role

We are seeking versatile, skilled CNC Machinists with strong backgrounds in either CNC Milling, CNC Turning, or both to join a highly professional production team.

Whether your expertise lies in 3/4/5-axis milling or multi-axis turning (including fixed-head and sliding-head), you will take ownership of the manufacturing process from start to finish. You will be responsible for ensuring high-quality output on complex components, working alongside a supportive team of like-minded engineers.

Key Responsibilities

* Programme, Set, and Operate:
Efficiently manage CNC Milling Centres or CNC Lathes to manufacture precision components, minimising setup times and maximising throughput.

* Online/Offline Programming:
Interpret technical engineering drawings to create, modify, and optimise machining programmes.

* Quality Assurance:
Self-inspect your own work using advanced metrology equipment and techniques to maintain strict tolerance standards.

* Process Optimisation:
Actively identify and propose workflow improvements, tooling upgrades, and cycle-time reductions.

* Workshop Standards:
Maintain a safe, clean, and organised workspace in line with modern 5S and lean manufacturing principles.

What We Are Looking For

* Proven CNC Expertise:
Solid experience in programming, setting, and operating CNC machines, with a core focus on either CNC Milling or CNC Turning.

* Control System Adaptability:

Experience with any major control system (e.g., Fanuc, Siemens, Heidenhain, Mazatrol, or Haas). If you have the fundamental machining logic, our client will support your transition to their specific systems.

* Technical Literacy:
Full proficiency in reading and interpreting complex engineering drawings. Familiarity with CAD/CAM software is highly advantageous.

* Specialist Exposure:
Prior experience with multi-axis machining or CNC Sliding-Head machines is a major plus but not mandatory.

* Professional Attitude: A detail-oriented team player with the autonomy to work unsupervised and a drive for continuous improvement.

What’s on Offer?

* Competitive salary package with room for negotiation based on technical merit.

* A genuinely modern, clean, and positive working environment with brand-new machinery.

* Excellent work-life balance with an early finish every Friday
