• Opportunity to develop experience across specialist machinery

The Company

Theo James Recruitment is proud to be supporting an established heavy engineering business looking to strengthen its machining team with an experienced CNC Machinist.

Operating from a large, specialist engineering facility, the business undertakes varied machining work involving large components, repair work and one-off engineering projects.

Due to continued demand and plans to expand the workforce, they are now looking for a CNC Machinist who can bring strong machining knowledge to the workshop.

Job Description

As a CNC Machinist, you will work across specialist CNC machinery, with a particular focus on machines operating Siemens 840D controls.

The role includes needing to work mainly on a horizontal boring machine alongside other CNC equipment. The horizontal boring work is predominantly suited to someone from a milling background, although broader machining experience would be highly advantageous.

Responsibilities

• Programming using Siemens 840D controls
• Working predominantly on horizontal boring/milling operations
• Machining large and varied engineering components
• Setting jobs and producing components to engineering requirements
• Supporting other CNC machining activities throughout the workshop
• Working confidently and safely around large machinery and components

Skills & Experience

The ideal CNC Machinist will have:

• Experience programming, setting and operating CNC machinery
• Siemens experience, ideally Siemens 840D
• A strong CNC milling or horizontal boring background
• Experience within heavy engineering would be beneficial but is not essential
• Confidence working with larger machines and components
• Broader milling and turning knowledge would be advantageous

The business understands that experienced Union machine operators are extremely difficult to find, so applications are welcomed from a CNC Machinist with transferable horizontal boring or milling experience.

Why Should You Apply?

This is an excellent opportunity for a CNC Machinist looking to move away from repetitive production machining and work within a specialist heavy engineering environment.

You'll have the opportunity to work with unusual, large-scale machinery, develop your existing skills and become part of an experienced workshop team.

If you're an experienced CNC Machinist with Siemens programming experience and want a technically varied long-term position, this could be an excellent next move
