We looking for a skilled CNC Machinist to support the production of high-precision components for aerospace and advanced propulsion systems. Working within a modern manufacturing environment, you will operate and set CNC machines across milling, turning, and EDM processes, using a wide range of industry-leading equipment and controls.
This role suits someone who wants to work on challenging, high-value, low-volume parts rather than routine production. The work is technically engaging, often involving prototype development, R&D components, small batches, and engine-critical parts.
You will be working with:
- Controllers: FANUC, Siemens, Mazatrol
- CAM Software: Autodesk Fusion 360
Responsibilities
- Set and operate CNC milling, turning, and EDM machines.
- Interpret engineering drawings, 3D models, and technical documentation.
- Produce parts to tight tolerances with consistent accuracy.
- Support programming and toolpath optimisation in Fusion 360.
- Select tools, fixtures, and machining strategies appropriate for each job.
- Carry out first-off, in-process.
- Work closely with engineers, designers, and quality teams to solve machining challenges.
- Contribute to process development as we scale engine production.
- Maintain a clean, organised, and safety-focused work environment.
What we are looking for
- Strong experience in CNC machining (milling and/or turning).
- Confident using any of the tools: FANUC, Siemens, or Mazatrol controls.
- Ability to read complex engineering drawings and 3D models.
- Experience working to tight tolerances (microns level advantageous).
- Familiarity with Fusion 360 CAM or willingness to learn.
- Experience with precision measuring tools; CMM training an advantage.
Hours and Environment
- Thirty-eight hours a week, Monday to Thursday, 7:30 am to 4:30 pm (with a 30-minute lunch break).
- Fridays, 7:30 am to 11:30 am.
- Standard 21 days of annual leave plus statutory bank holidays.
Job Type: Full-time
Pay: £30,000.00-£40,000.00 per year
Experience:
- CNC lathe: 3 years (preferred)
- CNC programming: 3 years (preferred)
- CNC milling machine: 3 years (preferred)
Work authorisation:
- United Kingdom (required)
Willingness to travel:
Work Location: In person
