• Working to close tolerances and high-quality standards
• Using measuring equipment including micrometres and Vernier calipers
• Manufacturing and modifying tooling, jigs and fixtures where required
• Making adjustments to machine settings to ensure components meet specification

Ideal Candidate:

• Minimum 5 years' experience within an engineering/manufacturing environment
• Proven experience setting and operating CNC milling machines
• Experience programming CNC machines would be desirable
• Experience with CNC vertical mills and/or CNC lathes
• Experience with any of Hurco, Fanuc, Mazatrol / Mazak, Siemens / Doosan Puma controls would be advantageous
• Confident reading and working from engineering drawings
• Able to work to close tolerances
• Manual machining experience would be advantageous, as would a time-served apprenticeship would be desirable
