The Company
Contek Recruitment Solutions are representing an established precision engineering business based in Billericay, Essex, who are looking to recruit a CNC Turner – Setter / Operator due to continued growth and the creation of a new position within the business.
The company operates a modern CNC machining facility, producing precision components for a diverse range of industries. Their machining capabilities include both sliding-head and fixed-head CNC turning, alongside CNC milling, with a strong focus on quality and precision.
This is a small team of around 12 people, offering the successful candidate the opportunity to become an important part of the business rather than simply another number within a large production environment.

The successful CNC Turner will be responsible for setting and operating CNC turning machinery, producing precision components to drawing and specification.

Setting and operating CNC turning machinery
Working on Citizen sliding-head CNC machinery or Fanuc-controlled fixed-head lathes
Editing existing CNC programmes at the machine
Reading and interpreting engineering drawings
Setting tooling, offsets and workholding
Producing precision components to tight tolerances
Carrying out first-off and in-process inspection
Using measuring equipment to check component quality
Making necessary adjustments to maintain quality and accuracy
Working from engineering drawings and production information
Maintaining a clean and safe working environment
About You
The ideal candidate will have previous experience setting and operating CNC turning machinery within a precision engineering or manufacturing environment.
Programming experience is not essential , as CNC programmes are generated offline. The key requirement is someone who is confident with setting, operating and editing programmes at the machine .
Experience with either Citizen sliding-head machinery or Fanuc-controlled fixed-head turning would be advantageous, although candidates with strong CNC turning experience on other controls and machinery will also be considered.
The company is looking for someone who is technically capable, quality-focused and able to work independently within a small, skilled engineering team. xwwtmva
