About the Company
We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established precision engineering company based in Surrey, supplying high-quality machined components into a broad range of industries including automotive, agricultural, medical, architectural, leisure and lighting.
Operating from a modern 12,000+ sq. ft. facility, the business continues to invest in advanced CNC turning and milling technology, machining components from 2mm up to 250mm diameter. They have built an excellent reputation for quality, long-term customer relationships and investing in both their people and machinery.
Due to continued growth, they are looking to strengthen their CNC Turning team.
The Role
This position would suit either:
* A skilled CNC Setter/Operator looking to progress into programming.
* An experienced CNC Programmer / Setter / Operator looking for a long-term opportunity within a modern precision engineering business.
You'll be producing precision components in low to medium batch quantities, setting jobs from engineering drawings, editing programs where required and continuously improving machining efficiency. For the right individual, there is genuine opportunity to further develop both conversational and CAD/CAM programming skills.
This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll take ownership of jobs from setup through to production rather than simply operating machines.
Key Responsibilities
* Programming (where experience allows), setting and operating CNC turning centres.
* Editing and optimising programs at the machine.
* Producing precision components to tight tolerances.
* Reading and interpreting engineering drawings.
* Setting tooling, offsets and carrying out first-off inspection.
* Working with a variety of materials including stainless steel, aluminium and engineering plastics.
* Identifying tooling or machining improvements to reduce cycle times.
* Working closely with production to meet quality and delivery targets.
What We're Looking For
* CNC Turning or Milling experience.
* Confident setting and operating CNC lathes.
* Able to read engineering drawings and work to tight tolerances.
* Experience editing programs at the machine is desirable.
* Good understanding of tooling, offsets and inspection.
Desirable (Not Essential)
* Programming experience (conversational or CAD/CAM).
* Fanuc or Siemens controls.
* Mill-turn or live tooling experience.
* Sliding head experience.
* Engineering apprenticeship or time-served machining background.
What's On Offer
* Competitive hourly rate depending on experience.
* Flexible working hours
* Overtime available.
* Modern, clean and well-organised machine shop.
* Long-term stable employment.
* Genuine progression into leading programming department
* Opportunity to work with modern CNC machinery while continuing to develop your engineering skills
