CNC Machinist, Machine Operator, Manufacturing & Industrial Operations
DR Newitt Engineering & Manufacturing are currently working with an established engineering and manufacturing business who are looking to recruit an experienced CNC Machinist / Setter Operator to join their team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced CNC machinist looking for strong long-term earning potential, a structured shift pattern and the opportunity to work within a modern engineering environment.
The role will initially operate on a 3-shift rotation:
- 6:00am - 2:00pm
- 2:00pm - 10:00pm
- 10:00pm - 6:00am
The business is planning to move to a Continental shift pattern, with earnings expected to be in the region of £52,000 per annum once this is introduced.
What's In It for You?- Permanent position with an established engineering business
- Opportunity to secure a role with a clear long-term shift structure
- Work with modern CNC machinery and predominantly Fanuc controls
- Varied machining work rather than simply loading and unloading machines
- Opportunity to develop your CNC setting and machining skills
- Join an experienced and supportive manufacturing team
- Long-term career opportunity within a stable business
As a CNC Setter / Operator, you'll be responsible for setting and operating CNC machinery to produce quality components to drawing specifications.

- Working predominantly with Fanuc-controlled machines
- Setting tools, offsets and cutting parameters
- Reading and interpreting engineering drawings
- Carrying out first-off and in-process inspections
- Using measuring equipment to ensure components meet specification
- Making tool and offset adjustments where required
- Changing tooling and carrying out routine machine adjustments
- Working to tight tolerances and high-quality standards
- Identifying and reporting any machining or quality issues
We're looking for someone who can hit the ground running and is confident working independently within a CNC machining environment.
You’ll ideally have:- Previous CNC Setter / Operator experience
- Experience with Fanuc controls
- Good understanding of CNC machining processes
- Ability to read and work from engineering drawings
- Experience setting tools, offsets and work holding
- Experience machining to tight tolerances
- Good understanding of cutting tools and machining parameters
- Strong attention to detail and quality
- A flexible approach to shift work
A recognised engineering apprenticeship or qualification would be advantageous, but hands-on CNC setting and operating experience is the key requirement.
