About the Company

A long-established and highly regarded precision engineering company based in West London, operating in key sectors such as aerospace, motorsport, medical, nuclear and oil & gas.

• Strong CNC turning or mill-turn experience
• Able to program at the machine (Fanuc ideal)
• Read and work to detailed engineering drawings
• Confident with tooling offsets and first-off inspection
• Sliding-head experience? Big bonus

• 39-hour work week
• Overtime available (paid @ 1.5x)
• Opportunity to work in a modern, growing engineering firm
• Supportive team and career progression
