Job Description

CNC Miller - Programmer Setter Operator

Southall, Middlesex | Up to £25 per hour / £52,000 basic + overtime

An established precision engineering business specialising in the manufacture of high-quality, complex machined components for the aerospace and associated high-technology sectors is looking to recruit an experienced CNC Miller Programmer / Setter.

Operating from a clean, modern and well-invested CNC manufacturing facility in Southall, the business has an excellent reputation for precision machining, with particular expertise in 3, 4 and complex 5-axis CNC milling.

The milling department operates a range of modern Mazak CNC machining centres, including i-600, J-500, 530, 430 and 410 machines, providing an excellent working environment for an experienced CNC Miller who enjoys technically challenging, high-precision work.

Both online and offline CNC programming capabilities are available, enabling engineers to develop, prove and optimise machining processes at the machine and through dedicated CAD/CAM facilities.

The Role

We are looking for an experienced CNC Miller Programmer / Setter capable of taking responsibility for complex precision-machined components from initial planning and programming through to successful manufacture.

Key responsibilities will include:

  * Programming, setting and operating 3, 4 and 5-axis CNC machining centres

  * Working with a modern range of Mazak CNC milling machines, including i-600, J-500, 530, 430 and 410

  * Mazak programming and machining experience is highly preferable, although experienced CNC Millers with strong multi-axis skills on other modern machining platforms will also be considered

  * Online programming at the machine, together with the ability to work effectively with offline CAD/CAM programming

  * Previous experience with VISI and/or hyperMILL CAD/CAM would be a distinct advantage, although this is not essential for an otherwise strong candidate

  * Manufacturing high-precision components for the aerospace sector, including critical in-flight and non-flight applications

  * Machining a varied material mix of approximately 60% aluminium and 40% steels

  * Planning machining strategies, tooling, workholding and efficient manufacturing methods

  * Designing and manufacturing fixtures for new and existing components

  * Supporting New Part Introduction (NPI) and developing robust manufacturing processes before components reach production

  * Producing clear setting documentation, process drawings and key-feature checklists

  * Proving out new programs and machining processes to ensure they are safe, reliable, repeatable and efficient

  * Working to the high levels of quality, accuracy and traceability required within aerospace manufacturing

The Person

We are particularly interested in experienced CNC Millers with a strong programming and process-development mindset, rather than candidates whose experience is primarily limited to machine operation.

Ideally, you will have:

  * Strong CNC milling programming and setting experience

  * Experience with 3, 4 and ideally 5-axis machining

  * Mazak experience – highly preferable

  * Experience programming online at the machine and/or offline using CAD/CAM

  * VISI and/or hyperMILL CAD/CAM experience – advantageous

  * Experience producing complex, close-tolerance precision components

  * A background in aerospace, defence, motorsport or another high-precision engineering environment

  * A good understanding of tooling, cutting strategies, workholding and fixture design

  * The ability to interpret engineering drawings, tolerances and critical component features

  * Experience proving out new jobs and contributing to New Part Introduction

  * A methodical approach to developing efficient, reliable and repeatable machining processes

The Environment

This is an opportunity to join a genuine precision engineering business rather than simply a production machine shop.

The company operates a modern CNC machining facility with advanced multi-axis equipment and both online and offline programming capabilities. This allows experienced programmers to be involved in the complete manufacturing process – from CAD/CAM and process planning through to setting, proving and optimisation at the machine.

For a skilled CNC Miller, the position offers the opportunity to work with modern Mazak machinery, sophisticated multi-axis machining, CAD/CAM programming and challenging precision aerospace components within a professional and well-equipped engineering environment.

Hours & Benefits

  * 40-hour standard working week

  * Up to £25 per hour / £52,000 basic salary

  * All hours worked over 40 hours per week paid at 1.333x

  * 24 days' paid holiday

  * All National/Bank Holidays paid

  * Pension scheme
