DR Newitt Engineering & Manufacturing are currently working with an established engineering and manufacturing business who are looking to recruit an experienced CNC Machinist / Setter Operator to join their team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced CNC machinist looking for strong long-term earning potential, a structured shift pattern and the opportunity to work within a modern engineering environment.
The role will initially operate on a 3-shift rotation:
* 6:00am – 2:00pm
* 2:00pm – 10:00pm
* 10:00pm – 6:00am
The business is planning to move to a Continental shift pattern, with earnings expected to be in the region of £52,000 per annum once this is introduced.
What's In It for You?
* Permanent position with an established engineering business
* Opportunity to secure a role with a clear long-term shift structure
* Work with modern CNC machinery and predominantly Fanuc controls
* Varied machining work rather than simply loading and unloading machines
* Opportunity to develop your CNC setting and machining skills
* Join an experienced and supportive manufacturing team
* Long-term career opportunity within a stable business
As a CNC Setter / Operator, you'll be responsible for setting and operating CNC machinery to produce quality components to drawing specifications.
Your responsibilities will include:
* Setting and operating CNC machinery
* Working predominantly with Fanuc-controlled machines
* Setting tools, offsets and cutting parameters
* Reading and interpreting engineering drawings
* Carrying out first-off and in-process inspections
* Using measuring equipment to ensure components meet specification
* Making tool and offset adjustments where required
* Changing tooling and carrying out routine machine adjustments
* Working to tight tolerances and high-quality standards
* Identifying and reporting any machining or quality issues
About You
We're looking for someone who can hit the ground running and is confident working independently within a CNC machining environment.
You'll ideally have:
* Previous CNC Setter / Operator experience
* Experience with Fanuc controls
* Good understanding of CNC machining processes
* Ability to read and work from engineering drawings
* Experience setting tools, offsets and workholding
* Experience machining to tight tolerances
* Good understanding of cutting tools and machining parameters
* Strong attention to detail and quality
* A flexible approach to shift work
A recognised engineering apprenticeship or qualification would be advantageous, but hands-on CNC setting and operating experience is the key requirement.
