CNC Machinist, Machine Operator
Rotherham | Up to £19.50 per hour | Days Only | Overtime at Time and a Half
Enjoy the freedom to get on with your work?
If you're an experienced CNC Machinist who enjoys programming, setting up jobs and producing precision components without someone constantly looking over your shoulder, this could be worth a conversation.
Ion Tec is working with an established precision engineering company in the Rotherham area that is increasingly involved in low-volume, high-quality machining work.
The company values experienced machinists who can think for themselves, take ownership of their work and use their knowledge to get the job done properly.
What makes this opportunity different?- Autonomy: The freedom to use your experience and judgement rather than being constantly supervised.
- Varied machining: Increasing amounts of small-batch precision work rather than repetitive, high-volume production.
- Days only: No night shifts.
- Overtime: Additional hours may be available, paid at time and a half.
- Established engineering business: A company with a background in precision machining and investment in CNC equipment.
You’ll be programming, setting and operating CNC milling and turning machines to produce precision components from engineering drawings.
Programming is carried out directly at the machine, working with materials including steel, stainless steel, aluminium and engineering plastics.
You’ll be expected to work independently, select appropriate tooling and machining methods, and take responsibility for producing accurate, quality components.
What we're looking for- Experience in both CNC milling and turning.
- Confident programming, setting and operating CNC machinery.
- Experience with Fanuc controls preferred, although Heidenhain and other controls will be considered.
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings and work to specified tolerances.
- Experience producing one-off and small-batch components.
- The confidence to work independently and solve machining problems.
Above all, we're looking for someone who takes pride in their machining and enjoys the challenge of making different components well.
Pay and working hours- Up to £19.50 per hour, depending on experience.
- Day shifts, with no nights.
- Overtime opportunities paid at time and a half.
