Job Title: CNC Turner

Location: Milton Keynes

Salary: £45,000 - £48,000 PA, Mon-Fri Day Shift

This CNC Turner role sits within a skilled precision engineering team producing prototype and low-volume, high-complexity components for the Motorsport, Aerospace and Automotive sectors. You will join a collaborative manufacturing environment where quality, innovation and operational excellence are at the heart of every project.

As a CNC Turner your responsibilities will include:

• Setting, operating and optimising CNC turning centres to maximise machine performance and productivity
• Manufacturing complex, high-precision components from detailed engineering drawings and technical specifications
• Working with Fanuc and/or Siemens controls, making tool offsets and machine adjustments to maintain dimensional accuracy
• Proving out prototype and new production components, providing feedback on tooling, workholding, cutting strategies, speeds and feeds
• Completing in-process inspection using micrometers, verniers, bore gauges and other measuring equipment to achieve tight tolerances
• Troubleshooting machining and tooling issues while working closely with Quality, Planning and Engineering teams to improve processes and minimise downtime

As a CNC Turner you will need:

• Proven experience as a CNC Turner within a precision engineering environment
• Strong experience setting and operating CNC lathes, ideally using Fanuc and/or Siemens controls
• Experience machining prototype or low-volume, high-complexity components to tight tolerances
• A good understanding of tooling, cutting data, workholding and machining techniques across a variety of materials
• Confidence reading engineering drawings and GD&T, alongside experience using precision measuring and inspection equipment

This CNC Turner position would suit a proactive machinist who enjoys solving technical challenges, takes pride in producing exceptional work and wants to contribute to continuous improvement. Experience with twin-spindle, twin-turret or multi-axis lathes, live tooling or mill-turn operations would be particularly valuable, although it is not essential.
