Full job description

Sliding Head Operator / Setter / Programmer

Job Description — July 2026

Reports to: Cell Leader

Location: AFT Fluorotec — main site

Department: Sliding Heads Cell

Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience

Hours: Full time — shift pattern per site rota (overtime available)

Overview

AFT Fluorotec is expanding its sliding head capability as part of the growth of the sliding head Cell. We are recruiting a Sliding Head Operator / Setter / Programmer to join the team, working on a growing cell of sliding head machines producing precision components in PTFE and other engineering plastics.

We will consider candidates at all levels — operator, setter, or programmer — provided you have genuine sliding head experience. The ideal candidate will be capable of programming and setting across all machine sizes in the cell, and will be given the opportunity to grow with the business as the cell expands. This is a hands-on production role, not a supervisory one, though there is scope to progress into a more senior position for the right person.

Responsibilities

Set, operate, and where required programme sliding head machines to produce components to drawing and specification
Work from engineering drawings and specifications to produce parts to the required tolerance and finish
Carry out first-off and in-process inspection, ensuring parts meet quality requirements before and during a production run
Optimise cycle times and tooling set-ups to maximise machine efficiency and material utilisation
Identify and troubleshoot machining issues, tooling wear, and process problems, escalating where necessary
Maintain accurate production records, job documentation, and quality records in line with AS9100D requirements
Work closely with the Cell Leader and wider engineering team to support production planning and delivery of customer orders on time and to target margin
Support a 5S and continuous improvement mindset on the shop floor
Adhere to all health & safety, housekeeping, and quality procedures
Contribute to the training and development of less experienced operators as the cell grows

Required Skills and Experience

Proven experience operating sliding head (Swiss-type) lathes — CNC and/or cam-operated
Setting experience essential; programming experience (conversational or CAD/CAM) highly desirable
Confidence working across a range of machine sizes and capabilities
Ability to read and work from engineering drawings and specifications
Experience machining plastics or engineering polymers is a strong advantage — AFT Fluorotec is a plastics-only machining environment, so familiarity with the different cutting, tooling, and material-handling requirements compared with metal machining will be valued
A good understanding of tolerances, finishes, and quality standards in precision component manufacture
Experience within an AS9100D, aerospace, or similarly quality-regulated environment is beneficial but not essential
Reliable, disciplined, and quality-focused approach to work
Willingness to learn and to progress — genuine interest in developing skills across the full range of sliding head sizes and, in time, potential cell leadership responsibility for the right candidate

What We Offer

Competitive salary, dependent on experience
The opportunity to join a growing, well-invested sliding head cell within an established, AS9100D-accredited precision manufacturer
Genuine progression opportunities as the cell and business expand
A skilled, supportive engineering team

Job Types: Full-time, Permanent

Pay: £30,000.00-£45,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Company pension
Cycle to work scheme
Health & wellbeing programme
On-site parking

Education:

GCSE or equivalent (preferred)

Experience:

CNC setting/ programming Sliding heads : 3 years (preferred)

Work Location: In person
