Job summary

EDGE is expanding advanced concepts in Abu Dhabi, dedicated to designing and deploying high-technology autonomous systems and precision machining. The role focuses on setting up CNC turning centres, editing programs, and ensuring dimensional accuracy while maintaining ISO 9001 documentation and a high standard of process control.

You will work in a fast-paced environment with exposure to Fanuc, Mazatrol, and OSP controllers, and will engage in first-off inspection, tool offsets, and continuous

Qualifications

• Diploma / ITI Certificate in Mechanical Engineering, CNC Technology, or equivalent trade qualification.
• CNC turning programming training certificate preferred; familiarity with ISO 9001 shop-floor documentation required.
• Minimum 6 years of CNC turning machine operation experience in a precision machining environment.
• Ability to read and edit CNC turning programs at the controller; experience writing basic G-code or Mazatrol turning programs.
• Strong ability to interpret engineering drawings and perform dimensional verification of turned components.
• Proficient in chuck/collet setup, tool qualification, and offset management.
• Exposure to live tooling or sub-spindle turning is an advantage.

Responsibilities

• Set up and operate CNC turning centres; configure chucks, collets, tailstocks, and bar feeds; mount and qualify turning, grooving, threading, boring, and parting tools per setup sheets.
• Edit, adapt, and optimise existing CNC turning programs at the controller (Fanuc, Mazatrol, OSP); write basic turning programs independently using G-code or conversational programming for rotational components.
• Establish work datums, tool nose radius compensation, and tool offsets; perform dry runs and verify programs before cutting production parts.
• Perform first-off and in-process inspection of turned components using micrometers, bore gauges, thread gauges, and surface roughness testers; make real-time accept/rework decisions against engineering drawings.
• Identify turning defects (chatter, poor surface finish, dimensional drift, tool wear) and implement corrective parameter adjustments or tool changes.
• Maintain accurate job travellers, setup sheets, and in-process inspection records per ISO 9001 requirements.
• Ensure compliance with EHS, 5S, chip management, and coolant standards across assigned turning cells.
