CNC Miller — Setter/Operator (3, 4 & 5-Axis) | Hyde | Permanent | Shift
A long-established precision engineering manufacturer in Hyde, Cheshire — part of a major engineering group with 40+ years' heritage — is looking for skilled CNC Miller Setter/Operators to join its machining team. The company manufactures critical, high-precision components and assemblies for the aerospace, aero engine, marine and nuclear sectors, working to AS9100 standards on genuinely challenging, high-value work.

- Using boring bars, specialist tooling and precision measuring equipment
We're looking for someone with:
- Proven CNC milling experience — setting and operating on 3, 4 or 5-axis machines
- Heidenhain, Siemens or Mazatrol controls (Heidenhain an advantage; strong multi-axis milling experience matters most — controls are secondary)
- Ability to read complex engineering drawings and hold tight tolerances
- A background in aerospace, defence or high-spec subcontract precision manufacturing
- Time-served or equivalent hands-on experience
In return:
- Permanent role
- £21.34–£23.4 (Inclusive of Shift Allowance) per hour depending on experience
