Job description

CNC Programmer / Tutor Assessor

Walsall, West Midlands

£29,500 - £32,000 | Full Time | Permanent

Looking to get off the tools without leaving engineering?

We've partnered with an independent apprentice training provider in the area. With a reputation of fantastic working culture, supportive staff and one of the best staff retention rates in the region. Not only will they support your personal development, but you'll become a vital part of their department.

This is an opportunity for an experienced CNC Programmer or CNC Machinist to pass on their skills to apprentices.

Once trained, you'll spend your time delivering practical workshop sessions, teaching CNC programming and machining, assessing learners and helping develop the next generation of engineers.

No teaching experience is needed. If you've got solid CNC experience, full teacher and assessor training can be provided.

We're looking for someone with experience in:

• CNC Programming
• CNC Milling and/or Turning
• Setting and operating CNC machines
• Fanuc and/or Siemens controls
• Reading engineering drawings
• Safe workshop practices

Ideally you'll have:

• Level 3 Engineering qualification (or above)
• Good communication skills
• A desire to support and develop apprentices

Teaching or assessor qualifications are a bonus but not essential.

What's on offer?

• £29,500-£32,000 (Higher salaries for already qualified trainers)
• Monday-Friday
• Permanent position
• Full teaching and assessor qualifications funded
• Modern workshop facilities
• Pension
• Long-term career progression

If you've built your career in CNC machining and fancy something different while staying in engineering, this could be the ideal move.
