The Role

As a CNC Operator, you will be responsible for running CNC machines safely and efficiently, ensuring components are produced to the required quality standards and delivery schedules.

  • Identify quality issues and escalate concerns where necessary.
  • Ensure components are produced to engineering drawings and specifications.
  • Complete production paperwork and records accurately.
  • Change tools and offsets when required and trained to do so.
  • Maintain a clean and organised work area in line with 5S standards.
  • Support production targets, quality objectives, and on-time delivery requirements.
  • Follow all health, safety, and quality procedures at all times.

  • Ability to read and follow engineering drawings and work instructions.
  • Experience using measuring equipment such as:
    • Micrometers
    • Verniers
    • Plug Gauges
    • Basic inspection equipment
  • Good attention to detail and commitment to quality.
  • Ability to identify and report machining or quality issues.
  • Strong work ethic and reliability.
  • Good communication and teamwork skills.

Desirable Experience

  • Experience operating CNC milling or CNC turning machines.
  • Familiarity with Fanuc and/or Heidenhain controls.
  • Previous experience within aerospace, precision engineering, or advanced manufacturing environments.
  • Knowledge of lean manufacturing and 5S principles.
  • Experience using CMM or Opticline inspection equipment.

What You'll Bring

  • A positive, can-do attitude.
  • A willingness to learn and develop new skills.
  • Strong focus on quality and safety.
  • The ability to work effectively as part of a team.
  • Flexibility to support business requirements when needed.
