Interaction Engineering
CNC Turner - Setter / Operator / Programmer

Location: PE28
Salary: Dependent on experience
Job Type: Permanent / Full-time

Our engineering clientis looking for an experienced CNC Turner - Setter, Operator & Programmer to join their team based in the PE28 area.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced CNC Turner who is confident with setting, operating and programming CNC turning machinery and is looking for a role where their experience and technical ability will be valued.

We are looking for someone who can work confidently and independently, producing quality components from engineering drawings while maintaining high standards throughout the machining process.

The Role

As a CNC Turner, you will be responsible for setting and operating CNC turning machinery, programming and making programme adjustments, and ensuring components are produced accurately and efficiently.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Setting CNC turning machines

• Operating CNC lathes safely and efficiently

• Programming CNC machines

• Editing and adjusting existing programmes where required

• Working with Haas controls

• Selecting and setting appropriate tooling

• Setting tool offsets and making adjustments during production

• Reading and interpreting engineering drawings

• Working to specified dimensions and tolerances

• Carrying out first-off and in-process inspection

• Measuring finished components using appropriate inspection equipment

• Identifying and resolving machining issues

• Making adjustments to tooling, offsets, speeds and feeds where necessary

• Maintaining consistent quality throughout production

• Working to production schedules and deadlines

• Keeping the work area clean, safe and organised

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for an experienced CNC Turner who has a strong practical understanding of machining and is comfortable taking a component from drawing through to finished part.

The successful candidate will ideally have experience across setting, operating and programming, rather than being purely an operator.

Experience with Haas controls is particularly desirable.

You should be able to work from engineering drawings, understand tolerances and machining requirements, and have a good understanding of tooling and cutting conditions.

The ability to work independently is important, as is having a methodical approach to producing accurate, high-quality components.

Experience & Skills

Ideally, you will have:

• Previous experience as a CNC Turner

• Strong CNC setting experience

• CNC operating experience

• CNC programming experience

• Experience using Haas controls

• Good knowledge of CNC turning processes

• Ability to read and understand engineering drawings

• Good understanding of tolerances and machining requirements

• Experience setting tooling and offsets

• Ability to make programme adjustments and optimise machining processes

• Experience using measuring equipment

• A strong eye for detail and quality

• Good problem-solving skills
