Job description

CNC Programmer (Milling or Turning)

Location: Esher, Surrey Salary: Competitive (DOE) Job Type: Permanent, Full-Time Hours: Days | Early Finish Every Friday

Join a Precision Engineering Company Where Your Programming Skills Matter

Are you an experienced CNC Programmer from a Milling or Turning background who enjoys programming, problem-solving and producing high-precision machined components?

We're looking for skilled CNC Programmers who are equally confident programming, setting and operating CNC machine tools. This role requires both online programming using Haas or Fanuc controls and offline programming using OneCNC (or similar CADCAM software), manufacturing complex precision components for some of the world's most demanding industries.This is a genuine opportunity to join a well-established subcontract precision engineering company where quality comes first, investment in technology continues, and machinists are trusted to take ownership of every project they manufacture.

About the Company

With over 30 years of precision engineering expertise, the company has built an excellent reputation for manufacturing high-quality precision machined components for customers across a wide range of technically demanding industries, including:

• Aerospace
• Defence
• Medical
• Oil & Gas
• Food Processing
• Packaging
• Scientific
• Advanced Manufacturing

The Role

As a CNC Programmer, you'll take ownership of your work from drawing through to finished component, programming, setting and operating your own jobs while producing precision engineered parts to the highest standards.

• Programming, setting and operating CNC Milling or CNC Turning machines
• Online programming using Haas or Fanuc controls
• Offline programming using OneCNC (experience with other CADCAM software will also be considered)
• Producing complex precision machined components to tight tolerances
• Manufacturing prototype, one-off, low-volume and production batch components
• Reading and interpreting engineering drawings
• Selecting tooling and machining strategies
• Inspecting your own work to ensure the highest quality standards
• Working closely with the engineering team to support continuous improvement

We're Looking For

• Previous experience as a CNC Programmer within Precision Engineering
• A background in either CNC Milling (3- and 4-axis) or CNC Turning (2-axis fixed head or Multi-Axis)
• Confident online programming, setting and operating experience
• Experience with offline programming using OneCNC or similar CADCAM software
• Experience using Haas or Fanuc controls
• Ability to manufacture precision components to tight tolerances
• Strong understanding of engineering drawings and geometric tolerances
• Excellent attention to detail and quality
• A proactive approach with pride in producing exceptional work

Experience in any of the following would be advantageous:

• 5 Axis CNC Milling
• Multi-Axis CNC Turning
• Prototype machining
• Precision subcontract machining
• Continuous improvement initiatives

What You'll Receive

• Excellent remuneration available (DOE)
• Overtime
• Profit-related bonus
• 25 days holiday plus Bank Holidays
• Company pension
• Early finish every Friday
• Modern, clean and well-equipped machine shop
• Investment in the latest machining technology
• Interesting, varied precision engineering work
• Long-term career stability
• Supportive, highly skilled engineering team

Why Join?

This isn't a production environment where you'll spend every day running repetitive batches. You'll programme your own work, machine complex precision components, solve engineering challenges and manufacture parts that genuinely make a difference across a wide range of industries.

The company continues to invest in advanced CNC machining technology, including multi-axis machining capabilities, modern manufacturing processes and its people. You'll work on everything from prototype development through to production runs, giving you the variety and technical challenge that many machining roles simply don't offer.

If you're passionate about precision engineering, enjoy taking ownership of your work and want to join a business that genuinely values craftsmanship, technical ability and continuous improvement, this is an opportunity not to be missed.

We're looking for experienced CNC Programmers from either a Milling or Turning background who are confident taking a job from engineering drawing through to finished component.

• Online programming, setting and operating CNC machine tools
• Offline programming using OneCNC or comparable CADCAM software
• Haas or Fanuc controls
• 3- & 4-axis Milling OR CNC Turning
• Manufacturing precision engineered components to tight tolerances
• Working independently while maintaining exceptional quality standards

Whether your expertise is in CNC Milling or CNC Turning, if you're looking for a long-term opportunity where you can programme, machine and take ownership of your own work, we'd love to hear from you.
