Set up and operate CNC milling and/or turning machines (3-axis and above) to produce components from engineering drawings.
Work to tight tolerances and aerospace quality standards (AS9100 environment).
Carry out in-process inspection using standard metrology equipment (verniers, micrometers, CMM as appropriate).
Identify and report tooling wear, machine faults, and non-conformances promptly.
Contribute to 5S housekeeping and FOD (Foreign Object Damage) prevention.
Liaise with Works Manager and Quality on first-off approvals and concession requests.
Support programming and process improvement activities where capability exists.
Demonstrable experience setting, programming and operating CNC milling or turning centres (Fanuc, Heidenhain, or equivalent).
