Are you a skilled CNC Turner ready to take the next step in your career?
This is a rare opportunity to move off the shop floor and into a customer-facing Applications Engineer role with one of the world’s leading CNC machine tool manufacturers.
If you’re confident in programming and setting CNC lathes (or mill-turns), enjoy solving technical challenges, and like helping others improve their machining processes, this role offers the perfect platform to develop your career in a new and rewarding direction.
The Role
You’ll receive comprehensive training to transition into an applications-focused position, using your hands-on machining expertise to support customers and internal teams.
Expect a varied and engaging workload — from live cutting trials and demonstrations to training sessions, process optimisation, and technical problem-solving on some of the most advanced turning machines available.
Key Responsibilities
Provide technical support and machining expertise to customers and internal teams.
Plan and deliver cutting trials, demonstrations, and technical presentations.
Conduct customer training sessions and represent the company at UK and international exhibitions.
Showcase CNC control systems and CAM software capabilities.
Respond to technical queries and deliver on-site support where required.
Work closely with the sales and engineering teams to ensure smooth project handovers.
Stay current with the latest machining methods, tooling technologies, and measurement systems.
About You
Essential:
Strong background in CNC turning or mill-turn programming and setting.
Experience within a subcontract machining or precision engineering environment.
Excellent communication and problem-solving skills.
Completed a Level 3 Engineering Apprenticeship (or equivalent).
Desirable:
HNC/HND in Mechanical or Manufacturing Engineering.
What’s on Offer
£36,000 – £42,000 basic salary (depending on experience).
Door-to-door pay with an OTE of around £50,000.
25 days holiday plus bank holidays.
8% employer pension contribution.
Private medical cover, life assurance (4x salary), and sick pay scheme.
Paid overtime with enhanced weekday, weekend, and Sunday rates.
Free parking, uniform provided, and a subsidised canteen.
Standard hours: Monday to Friday, 08:15–16:30.
If you’re currently programming and setting CNC turning or mill-turn machines and are ready to develop your career into a customer-facing technical applications role, we’d love to hear from you.
