CNC Miller

CNC Miller Programmer

West Surrey (Guildford / Woking area) | £52,000 - £60,000 DOE | Permanent, 37.5 hours, flexible

Tired of programming the same parts week after week? Want 5 axis work on genuinely varied components, with a route into something very few UK shops are doing?

A precision engineering business in West Surrey, producing complex, low volume components to a high specification for a demanding, design led market. Aluminium, titanium and stainless.

The team is small, so the work comes with real ownership and variety. This is not a production line, and no two weeks look the same.

The business is investing in high performance optics capability over the next eighteen months, with specialist processes being brought in house and a specialist engineer joining the team to lead that side of it.

For the right person that opens up the option of running a high end optical machining cell within a couple of years, alongside the existing metalwork. It is unusual career ground and there are not many places in the UK you could get it.

• Programming 3 axis, 3+2 and 5 axis parts, with programs that are fast and efficient, not just correct
• Running the jobs you have programmed if you want time on the tools
• Input into design changes for simpler and faster manufacture
• Input into automation schedules and manufacturing to suit automation timelines
• Scope to bring better programming workflows in. They are open to changing CAM package for the right reasons

• Proven 5 axis milling experience in a precision environment
• Previous experience in a CAM package is essential. They currently program in Fusion 360, which is preferred rather than required
• Solid grounding in G-code and Fanuc controllers
• Aluminium, titanium and stainless experience
• Turning experience is welcome but not essential
• Motorsport, aerospace or defence background would suit this well
• An understanding of automation workflows is desirable
• An open, practical approach. They want someone who enjoys a technically awkward problem
• Living within a sensible commute of the Guildford and Woking area
• Please note this role involves working in an office and warehouse environment, and regularly lifting and manoeuvring heavy equipment.

• £52,000 - £60,000 depending on experience
• 37.5 hours per week, worked to suit you inside a 08:00 to 18:00 window, Monday to Friday. Early or late, as long as the hours are done
• Overtime at time and a half
• 22 days holiday plus bank holidays
• An extra day off for your birthday, taken in the same month
• A Christmas shutdown, normally around a week, without using your holiday allowance
• Permanent and full time, following a standard probationary period
• A real route into high end optical machining as the business grows
