Computer Numerical Control Machinist

Permanent | Monday to Friday | Day Shifts

Salary is dependant on experience

Are you an experienced VMC Setter or CNC Setter looking for a permanent, days-based role with an established UK manufacturer?

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the hands-on side of CNC machining and wants a role where you'll be trusted to take ownership of your own set-ups.

Working within a busy manufacturing environment, you'll be responsible for setting VMCs for predominantly small-batch production, producing first-offs and making the necessary adjustments to ensure components are machined accurately and efficiently.

This is mainly a setting role rather than programming from scratch, with the opportunity to develop your experience further across 5-axis machining.

• Setting VMCs ready for small-batch production runs
• Setting tooling, fixtures, work holding and offsets for each job
• Loading existing CNC programs and making adjustments where needed
• Producing first-offs, checking your work and making sure everything is right before production
• Working from engineering drawings and using verniers, micrometres and gauges to check components
• Keeping jobs running smoothly, monitoring quality and dealing with tooling or machining issues as they arise

• You’ll need to be confident using Fanuc controls
• Experience working with 3, 4 or 5-axis machining centres
• Comfortable setting your own tooling, work holding and offsets
• Able to confidently read engineering drawings and produce accurate first-offs
• A good practical understanding of machining, tooling and tolerances, with an eye for quality
