Conduct risk assessments and implement safe working practices

Required Experience & Skills:

Minimum 5 years’ experience managing a CNC machining or precision engineering facility

Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills
Data-driven mindset with the ability to analyse and act on performance metrics

Desirable:

Engineering degree or equivalent technical qualification

Investment in modern equipment and automation technologies
A collaborative and quality-focused working environment
Competitive salary and benefits package

Summary
