Are you a hands-on Miller / Turner looking to build your own machining department from scratch, with full control over machine selection, processes, and future team growth?
On offer is a unique opportunity to take ownership of a brand-new milling and turning function within an established fabrication company. Initially, you will be the sole machinist - programming, setting, and operating machines yourself - while also leading decisions on equipment selection, workshop layout, and production processes. As the department grows, you will recruit and develop your own team.
This company operates within metal fabrication and engineered manufacturing and is investing into CNC machinery and workshop infrastructure. They are looking for a technically strong, practical engineer who enjoys being on the tools while building something long-term.
