Location: Greater London

CNC Miller / Setter / Operator
Precision Aerospace Engineering
Romford, Essex
Permanent Position

Complex components. Tight tolerances. Modern CNC machining.

An established precision engineering business is expanding its machining team following continued growth and increasing customer demand.

They’re looking for an experienced CNC Miller / Setter / Operator to join a technically strong manufacturing environment, producing complex, high-precision aerospace components in a low-to-medium batch setting.

This is a hands-on machining role for someone who enjoys setting, proving and producing quality components — not simply loading and unloading machines.

The Role

* You’ll be responsible for taking components from setup through to finished part, working to tight engineering tolerances and maintaining consistently high standards of quality.

* Set, operate and prove out CNC milling machines

* Set tooling, fixtures, offsets and work holding

* Machine complex components from engineering drawings

* Work to demanding aerospace-level tolerances and specifications

* Carry out first-off and in-process inspection

* Monitor tool condition, machine performance and component quality

* Adjust offsets and cutting parameters where required

* Complete production, inspection and quality documentation

What You’ll Bring

* Proven experience as a CNC Miller / Setter / Operator

* Strong ability to read and interpret engineering drawings

* Experience with Fanuc, Heidenhain or similar CNC controls

* Good knowledge of tooling, work holding, offsets and machining techniques

* Confident setting machines and producing components to specification

* Experience with in aerospace or precision engineering is highly advantageous

* A genuine focus on quality, accuracy and getting the job right first time

Why This Role?

This isn’t high-volume production where you’re running the same component all day. You’ll be working on varied, technically challenging components, using modern CNC machinery within a precision engineering environment where your machining ability actually matters.

In return, you’ll get:

* Competitive salary

* Overtime opportunities

* Healthcare benefits

* Flexible working arrangements

* Modern CNC machining environment

* Varied, technically interesting work

* Long-term opportunity within an established and growing engineering business

If you’re a CNC Miller who wants to work on complex components, tight tolerances and genuinely interesting engineering, this could be a very strong next move.

Please apply and I’ll be in touch for a confidential discussion
