About The Roles:
CNC Turner Position:
They are looking for an experienced CNC Turner / Setter / Operator to produce high-quality, one-off prototypes and small batches of complex precision components. Working with diverse high-grade materials, you will take total ownership of your workstation, interpreting drawings, programming/setting the machines, and verifying your own precision.
Key Responsibilities:
- Set & Operate: Program, set, and run CNC lathes to produce complex, tight-tolerance parts.
- CAD/CAM Integration: Interpret CAD drawings and utilize OneCNC CAD/CAM software to optimize machining processes.
- Quality Excellence: Maintain strict ISO9001 standards, self-inspecting your work with micrometres, verniers, and plug gauges.
- Tooling & Setup: Execute tool changes, offsets, and adjustments to maintain flawless production.
- Machine Care: Perform routine preventative maintenance to keep our high-spec machinery running at peak performance.
Team Collaboration: Work alongside a passionate, close-knit engineering team to share insights and crush production goals.
Candidate Requirements:
The Essentials: Minimum of 3 years of proven precision engineering experience.
Controls Expert: Deep proficiency with FANUC controls is required. (Experience with HAAS or DMG Mori machines gives you a massive advantage).
Software Savvy: Strong ability to interpret CAD drawings; hands-on experience with OneCNC software is highly desirable.
Independence: A reliable professional who works brilliantly unsupervised and has a sharp eye for detail.
Bonus Skills: Manual turning experience is a major plus.
CNC Programmer Position:
They are looking for an elite 5-Axis Machinist who can seamlessly bridge the gap between programming, setting, and operating. You will take raw technical concepts and transform them into flawless, high-performance components. This role offers the perfect balance of independent ownership and tight-knit team collaboration, with the chance to program for "lights-out" automated manufacturing.
Key Responsibilities:
- Advanced Programming: Program, set up, and operate 5-axis machinery, including configuring automation systems for maximum "hours-out-of-hours" unmanned production.
- CAD/CAM Translation: Interpret complex technical drawings and utilize Hypermill CAD/CAM designs to map out flawless machining paths.
- Precision Inspection: Take total ownership of quality, executing strict inspection processes using both manual measuring equipment and CMM.
- Fast-Paced Execution: Thrive in a rapid-turnaround, motorsport-paced environment without ever compromising on tight tolerances or ISO9001 standards.
- Workspace Excellence: Maintain a pristine, highly organized, and safe work cell.
Candidate Requirements:
The Blueprint: Proven, hands-on experience programming and setting 5-axis CNC machines within a high-spec manufacturing or precision engineering environment.
Software Mastery: Strong familiarity with CAD/CAM software; Hypermill experience is highly preferred.
Technical Depth: Deep understanding of engineering drawings, tooling selection, metallurgy, and material specifications.
Motorsport Mindset: Exceptional attention to detail, strong time-management skills, and the ability to work independently under tight deadlines.
Leadership Value: A willingness to learn new processes, with the ability to mentor or train others viewed as a major advantage.
Company Benefits:
