Toolmaker / Machinist

Location: Scarborough

Join a skilled and supportive engineering team — and grow your hands-on expertise.

We're looking for a Toolmaker / Machinist to join our client's Works Services Team in Scarborough. Whether you're experienced or just have a solid foundation in engineering and machining (milling, grinding, etc.), this could be a great opportunity to develop your skills further in a practical, well-equipped environment.

What You'll Do:

• Maintain, repair, and modify press tools to keep production running smoothly
• Manufacture precision tools to customer specifications
• Identify and resolve faults in tooling and machinery
• Help manage spare parts and materials
• Collaborate on new tool designs and fabrication
• Operate a range of toolroom machines: millers, drills, grinders, lathes, wire eroders
• Follow health & safety protocols and report unsafe practices
• Support machine breakdown investigations and continuous improvement
• Share knowledge and support team training where possible

What We're Looking For:

• Basic to advanced engineering knowledge – if you've worked with milling, grinding, or similar, we want to hear from you
• Ideally, experience with press tooling or CNC/power presses
• Comfortable using toolroom equipment and precision measurement tools
• Ability to read 2D and 3D engineering drawings is a plus (but we can help you build this skill)
• A practical, hands-on mindset and a focus on quality and safety
• Good problem-solving skills and a team-oriented attitude

This is a great role for someone who wants to build their machining and tooling skills in a real-world, production-focused setting. If you're motivated and mechanically minded — even without all the boxes ticked — we encourage you to apply.
