We're recruiting experienced CNC Setter-Operators for an established precision engineering manufacturer on the Isle of Man.

This is a hands‑on setting role producing complex, safety‑critical aerospace components. You'll work across multiple CNC machines, managing frequent set‑ups, varied components and tight tolerances.

This is not an operator‑only position. You must be confident setting CNC machinery independently.

• Minimum 5 years' experience in high‑precision CNC manufacturing.
• Proven CNC setting and operating experience.
• Experience setting 3, 4 or 5‑axis CNC machinery.
• Experience with CNC milling or mill‑turn machinery.
• Ability to manage frequent machine set‑ups and varied components.
• Ability to read engineering drawings and work to tight tolerances.
• Confident using micrometres, verniers and other inspection equipment.
• Aerospace or equivalent precision manufacturing experience.
• Strong problem‑solving skills and ability to work independently.

Experience across CNC turning, milling and mill‑turn operations is particularly desirable.

The Isle of Man offers coastal scenery, countryside, motor sport and outdoor activities, alongside a different pace of life.

The employer is offering relocation assistance to help experienced machinists make the move.

UK and international applicants are welcome, with visa sponsorship potentially available for suitable candidates.
