Job Description
CNC Machine Operator
Location: East Lothian
We’re seeking a practical and reliable Machine Operator to join a busy workshop team, working with large, industrial CNC machines.
Please note: This is not a programming role.
The CNC machines are used for cutting, punching, and drilling structural steel, with programs prepared by the in-house detailing team. As the operator, your focus will be on running the machines safely, ensuring the correct material is loaded, and verifying that parts match the engineering drawings and program specifications.
If you enjoy hands-on work, collaborating in a busy workshop environment, and working with large-scale equipment, this could be an excellent opportunity.
Key Responsibilities

Operate large CNC steel processing machines

Ensure the correct job runs on the correct material

Check measurements and quality as parts are produced
*
Use overhead cranes and handling equipment safely
*
Work closely with supervisors and fabricators
*
Maintain a clean, safe, and organised workspace
Note: The role involves practical workshop tolerances. You will not be writing programs or editing code—the focus is on safe operation, attention to detail, and consistent output.
Candidate Requirements
*
Experience operating machinery in a workshop or manufacturing environment
*
Comfortable handling structural steel or heavy materials
*
Strong attention to detail
*
Reliable and safety-focused
*
Flexible for day, night, and weekend shifts
Previous CNC experience is advantageous, but candidates who have worked with other machinery and are eager to learn are encouraged to apply. Attitude and reliability are as important as experience.
Pay & Employment Details
*
Day shift: £20 per hour
*
Night shift: £26 per hour
*
Overtime: Enhanced rates available
*
Payment via CIS or umbrella
*
The role may become permanent after a successful 13-week probation period
