About the Role

We are looking for a skilled and motivated Machine Tool Service Engineer/ Mechanical Fitter to join a specialist engineering service provider supporting high-level precision engineering firms. This is a field-based role, primarily covering Central England, with occasional overnight stays required.

You will be responsible for the maintenance, service, and repair of CNC machine tools across a variety of customer sites. From breakdown repairs to turret realignments or full spindle removals, this is a hands-on, problem-solving role ideal for someone who enjoys getting stuck in and keeping machines running.

• Diagnose and repair mechanical and minor electrical issues on CNC machine tools
• Perform routine maintenance and servicing on a wide range of CNC machines
• Carry out tasks such as turret realignment, spindle extraction, and general machine tool fitting
• Attend customer sites across the region to respond to breakdowns and service calls
• Ensure all work is completed to a high standard with attention to detail and customer satisfaction
• Complete job reports and communicate effectively with both the internal team and customers
• Work flexible hours when required to complete jobs, including overtime and occasional overnight stays

We're open to a variety of backgrounds for the right candidate. Ideally, you'll have experience in CNC machine maintenance or machine tool fitting, but if you're a time-served machinist or fitter with strong mechanical knowledge, training can be provided.

Essential:

• Strong mechanical engineering background
• Hands-on experience with CNC machines (either operation or maintenance)
• Willingness to travel and stay overnight when required
• Full UK driving licence
• Ability to work independently and problem-solve under pressure

Desirable:

• Experience in CNC machine maintenance or servicing
• Machine tool fitting or mechanical breakdown repair experience
• Knowledge of a range of CNC brands and models

• £20 - £22 per hour, depending on experience
• Plenty of paid overtime and high earning potential
• Training and development opportunities for the right candidate
• Company vehicle and tools provided
• Work with a respected engineering service provider that supports some of the best precision firms in the country
• Be part of a team that provides services and repairs across a wide variety of CNC machine tools, with experienced and reliable engineers who keep critical machines running around the clock

If you're an engineer who enjoys hands-on work, problem-solving, and the satisfaction of getting machines running again, we'd love to hear from you
