• Reading engineering drawings and working accurately to dimensions and tolerances
• Measuring and inspecting finished components
• Selecting and setting tooling correctly for each job
• Carrying out efficient machine changeovers
• Loading and checking CNC programmes, with the opportunity to learn more about CNC programming
• Using Renishaw probing where required — experience is useful but not essential
• Supporting prototype and new component work
• Troubleshooting machine and machining issuesIdentifying opportunities to improve efficiency, quality and repeatability
