Job Description

CNC Machinist - Up to £45,000 - Chelmsford

I'm working with a partner company in Chelmsford to recruit a true CNC Machinist, someone confident stepping straight onto their DMG MORI and Hermle machines and producing aerospace-grade parts from day one.

This is a genuinely hands-on, shop-floor position. You'll be machining, problem-solving, proving out toolpaths, and making high-precision components. The unique twist? Much of your work will also be filmed and turned into high-performing online content viewed by hundreds of thousands (sometimes millions) of people.

It's machining first, content second, but you'll quickly become a key face of their brand.

Day-to-day responsibilities:

Set up and run 5-axis jobs for filming (tooling, workholding, proving out)
Machine real components to micron tolerances while explaining your process on camera
Create engaging content: one-take part manufacturing and production, tool-crash reactions, "why this cutter costs 3× more," etc.
Demonstrate how AI-driven software dramatically reduces programming time
Work closely with the video/marketing team, with full creative freedom 

Must have:

Current or recent hands-on 5-axis milling experience making real parts
Ability to independently choose tools, fixtures, speeds/feeds, and safely prove out programs
Solid understanding of metrology and GD&T
Able to commute to Chelmsford or willing to relocate 

Nice to have (not essential):

Your own machining Instagram/TikTok/YouTube (even a small following helps)
Offline programming experience (NX, Mastercam, Fusion)
Comfortable speaking on camera 

Package:

£40k-£45k + private medical + 28 days holiday

If you're a genuine CNC Machinist who watches Titans, Pierson Workholding, NYC CNC or Edge Precision and thinks, "I could do that," please apply with your CV, and a link to your Instagram/YouTube if you have one.
