Computer Numerical Control Programmer

Our client is seeking an experienced CNC Programmer to support their precision engineering operations across 3 to 5 axis milling machines.

This role focuses on creating, optimising, and maintaining CNC programs to drive efficient, high-quality manufacturing processes in a fast-paced, AS9100-accredited environment. You’ll work closely with machinists, engineers, and quality teams to ensure optimal toolpaths, introduce new tooling strategies, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.

Candidates should be confident programming in Fanuc and Heidenhain, with strong capability in both milling and turning, ideally including 5-axis (3+2). Experience with offline CAM programming—preferably VISI CAM—and 3D modelling using Solidworks or similar software is highly desirable.

In addition to day-to-day programming, you’ll support NPI projects, contribute to fixture and tooling design, and help troubleshoot machining issues on the shop floor. The role offers real influence in shaping production methods and improving spindle uptime.

A solid understanding of lean manufacturing principles, structured problem solving, and relevant industry standards such as ISO9001 and AS9100 is key. This is a hands-on, proactive position suited to someone who thrives on technical challenges and wants to make a visible impact in a high-performance engineering environment.
