• Tuesday: 7:30am – 4:30pm

The Opportunity

10 Recruitment are currently recruiting for an experienced CNC Turner Programmer / Setter / Operator to join a well-established engineering business in Bradford.

We are looking for an experienced CNC machinist who can hit the ground running, work independently and take ownership of jobs from programming and setting through to producing finished components.

This role would particularly suit somebody with a strong work ethic who is confident working stand-alone and can set a positive example to less experienced members of the machining team.

The Role

Your Responsibilities Will Include

• Programming, setting and operating CNC lathes.
• Working independently from engineering drawings.
• Setting tooling and making necessary adjustments.
• Producing components accurately to specification and required tolerances.
• Carrying out dimensional and quality checks.
• Identifying and resolving machining issues.
• Taking ownership of jobs from initial set-up through to completion.
• Working efficiently while maintaining high quality standards.
• Supporting and setting a positive example to developing members of the CNC team.
• Maintaining a safe and organised working environment.

Machinery & Controls

The site operates XYZ Proturn lathes with ProtoTRAK programming controls, including:

• 3 x XYZ Proturn 410 Series.
• 1 x XYZ RLX 555 Touchscreen.

Previous XYZ Proturn / ProtoTRAK experience would be highly advantageous, particularly as the business is looking for somebody capable of becoming productive quickly.

However, we would also be interested in speaking with experienced CNC Turners who have strong programming, setting and operating experience on other controls and have the machining knowledge and capability to adapt.

Most of the existing CNC team can both mill and turn, so experience across both would be advantageous. However, the business is equally happy to consider a dedicated CNC Turner where their turning competence and capability are strong.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong CNC turning experience.
• Confident programming, setting and operating CNC lathes.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Experience working from engineering drawings.
• Good knowledge of tooling and machining processes.
• Strong understanding of tolerances and component inspection.
• XYZ Proturn / ProtoTRAK experience highly advantageous.

Milling Experience Advantageous But Not Essential

• Reliable with a strong work ethic.
• Capable of taking responsibility for your own workload.
• Someone who can set a positive example to younger/developing members of the team.

What’s on Offer

• £18.00–£20.00 per hour, depending on experience.
• Permanent position.
• Monday to Friday day shifts.
• 7:30am starts.
• 2:30pm finish every Friday.
• No regular weekend working.
• Established engineering environment.
• Opportunity to work independently and take ownership of machining work.
• Long-term opportunity within an experienced CNC team.
