Job description

CNC Machinists (Milling & Turning) – 4 Day Working Week

£24.50 per hour (including shift allowance and night shift premium) Overtime paid at £31.50 per hour

Jackson Hogg is recruiting on behalf of a well-established precision engineering business in East Cleveland with over 60 years of engineering excellence.

Supplying high-value components into the defence, marine, rail, and power generation sectors, including international exports, this company combines a strong engineering heritage with ongoing investment in modern machinery and a genuine commitment to developing long-term careers for skilled machinists.

Due to sustained growth and increasing workload, we are seeking experienced CNC Turners, Vertical Borers, CNC Millers, and Horizontal Borers to join the team on a permanent basis.

The Role

These positions involve setting, programming, and operating large-format CNC turning, milling, and boring machinery to manufacture precision-engineered components. This is one-off and short-run machining, not production-line work, requiring a high level of skill, accuracy, and engineering judgement.

You will work from engineering drawings, taking components from raw material through to finished product, often machining large, technically challenging, and safety-critical parts.

• Strong inspection and measurement skills
• Ability to interpret technical drawings accurately
• Good understanding of tolerances, surface finishes, and machining strategies
• Quality-focused approach with excellent attention to detail
• Experience working on large or high-value components would be advantageous

What’s On Offer

• £24.50 per hour effective rate (including shift premiums)
• Overtime paid at £31.50 per hour
• Health cash plan
• Life assurance
• Subsidised canteen
• Free on-site parking
