The Opportunity

Contek Recruitment Solutions is representing an exciting and rapidly expanding engineering and technology business based in Bermondsey, South London, in the search for an experienced Technician – Machinist.

This is a particularly exciting opportunity to join a forward-thinking business developing next-generation synthetic fuel technology, with the ambition to help transform the future of energy.

Having recently featured on BBC News, the business has experienced significant growth and currently employs approximately 60 people, with plans to double its workforce to around 120 by the first quarter of next year.

With substantial investment being made into a brand-new manufacturing facility and high-end machinery, this is an opportunity to join at an important stage of the company's development.

Importantly, this is not a traditional production or subcontract machining role.

You'll be working in a highly varied engineering and R&D environment, producing everything from prototype components and test rigs through to full-scale assemblies. You'll also have the opportunity to contribute ideas, solve engineering challenges and influence how things are manufactured.

The Role

As Technician – Machinist, you'll take responsibility for operating and maintaining a range of machining equipment, producing high-quality components and supporting wider engineering and development projects.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Operating manual mills and lathes alongside CNC milling and turning machinery.

• Setting, operating and programming CNC machinery, with Hurco WinMax experience particularly desirable.

• Setting up and executing CAM programmes.

• Verifying toolpaths and carrying out appropriate dry runs before machining.

• Selecting suitable cutting tools and establishing appropriate feeds, speeds and cutting rates.

• Setting workholding, datums and work offsets.

• Machining a variety of materials, including alloy steels and plastics.

• Carrying out component inspection using micrometers, bore gauges, pin gauges, dial test indicators, digital verniers and other measuring equipment.

• Taking ownership of component quality, identifying issues and carrying out rework where necessary.

• Performing general machine checks and preventative maintenance to support equipment longevity. xsabvtc
