CNC Machinist Night Shift

Job Posted: 2 days ago

Salary: £ 500 - 500 / Hour
Job Type: Permanent
Location: WV10

Job Description

Our client, a manufacturing industry powerhouse, is looking for a qualified skilled CNC machinist to join their night-shift team in a permanent role.

The position involves machining high‑precision components from titanium, steel, and aluminum, working to tight tolerances and quality standards in a production or aerospace/precision engineering environment.
Programming is not a requirement as all shop programs are produced off-line by our Manufacturing Engineering department, but some ISO/EIA programming experience may be useful in out of hours trouble shooting but not a core requirement.

This role will require the individual to work a permanent NIGHT SHIFT pattern, and overtime when requested.

The role also requires the candidate to be self-certified and a quality stamp holder after qualifying period.

Key Responsibilities

* Set, operate, and adjust Mazak CNC machines (3‑axis and 4‑axis), including mill‑turn centres.
* Machine complex components to tight tolerances and high surface finish requirements.
* Work with difficult and exotic materials including titanium, stainless steel, and aluminum alloys.
* Interpret and work from engineering drawings and technical specifications.
* Operators will not normally see a cad model in usual operating conditions.  They will work with process stage sketches, tech specs and drawing references where required, using the in-house Solumina interface. Solumina experience will not need to be a requirement here though as it is easily picked up for shop use.
* Offsetting and tool compensation for process control is essential and some experience of speed / feed use may be preferable for out of hours troubleshooting.
* Carry out first‑off inspections and ongoing quality checks using a variety of measuring equipment, including CMM machinery.
* Identify and resolve machining or tooling issues to minimise scrap and downtime.
* Maintain machines and work area to ensure safe and efficient operation.
* Work to production schedules while maintaining quality and safety standards.

Key Skills & Experience
* Apprenticeship or NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Engineering / CNC Machining preferred
* Relevant manufacturing or machining certifications advantageous
* Proven experience operating Mazak CNC machines
* Strong background in 3‑axis and 4‑axis machining
* Experience with complex mill‑turn operations
* Confident machining titanium, steel, and aluminum
* Strong understanding of cutting tools, feeds, speeds, and tool life management
* Excellent ability to read and interpret technical drawings and GD&T
* Competent with precision measuring equipment (micrometers, verniers, CMM awareness)
* Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality
