Description:
We’re working with an advanced materials manufacturer in Ayrshire that’s quietly powering some of the most demanding sectors on the planet - from aerospace to oil & gas. Their machines don’t mess about, and neither do their people.
They’ve got everything from 2-axis lathes to multi-axis beasts, and a mix of control systems (Fanuc, Siemens, Mazak, Heidenhain - if you can program it, you’ll probably find it here). Every day’s different: one-off precision components, small batch runs, R&D parts, you name it.
This isn’t the kind of place where you’re a button-pusher.
It’s the kind of place where you’re trusted to run the job - from setup to inspection - with the freedom to make things right.
The standard is high, but so’s the satisfaction when you hit that perfect tolerance.
The job will involve;
Programming, setting and operating CNC machines (turning, milling, multi-axis work)
Working from complex technical drawings and tight tolerances
Producing components for aerospace, oil & gas and other high-spec industries
Collaborating with engineers and designers to fine-tune processes
Constantly learning - there’s a real mix of legacy kit and cutting-edge tech here
You'll need;
Experience in CNC machining (milling - ideally)
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings
Comfortable across a variety of controls (Fanuc, Siemens, Mazak, Heidenhain)
Pride in your work - this is precision engineering, not mass production
Someone who genuinely enjoys figuring things out and doing them properly
What's in it for you?
Competitive rates (negotiable depending on experience)
4.5 day week
Solid benefits and overtime opportunities
Long-term stability in a growing, innovative sector
Real investment in your training and development
