* Reading and measuring using micrometer to tight tolerances
* Learning and developing grinding skills as part of the role
* Maintaining machine efficiency and contributing to KPIs
* Reducing scrap and rework and reporting efficiencies to the Production Manager
* Maintaining a clean and safe working environment at all times
What We Are Looking For
* Solid CNC engineering background — setting and running CNC machines, lathes and manual machines

* Experience with materials including aluminium, stainless steels and Inconel
* Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and specifications
