Are you a skilled CNC Machinist looking for more than just running cycles? An ambitious engineering business working across motorsport and high-performance sectors is bringing machining in-house for the first time. They are moving to a new site and need a confident turner with strong lathe skills to be part of that move, with real opportunity to grow as the team does. You will work alongside a small team of skilled, design-focused engineers who know their components inside out but need someone who can turn those designs into reality on the lathe - advising on manufacture, material choice and machinability, then delivering it yourself. Turning capability is the immediate priority, though mill/turn skills across both turning and milling would be ideal, and this is very much a growing business: they need someone driven enough to grow with it. There is genuine scope to move into a Production Planning position and take ownership of machinery H&S and policies as the business scales. Your responsibilities as a CNC Machinist: Set, programme and operate the CNC mill/turn (Mazak Integrex or similar) - working predominantly in steels Programme using Mazak conversational programming or an equivalent control system Select tooling, work holding and cutting parameters, and prove out new programs from scratch Manufacture one-off and small-batch precision components to tight tolerances Review designs and advise on the best approach to manufacture, materials and machinability Carry out first-off and in-process quality inspection using standard metrology equipment Your current experience which will help you a CNC Machinist: At least 3 years' hands-on CNC turning experience, confidently setting and programming a lathe rather than just operating - mill/turn capability (e.g. a Mazak Integrex), covering both turning and milling, would be ideal Confident interpreting engineering drawings and tolerances, and comfortable advising on manufacturability Experience with Mazak conversational programming (or an equivalent control) is a strong advantage - CAM experience is also a plus A practical, resourceful mindset - happy working things out independently and knowing where to go for support Driven and ambitious, with a genuine desire to grow beyond the machine Experience with gear machining equipment (e.g. Pfauter or Lorenz) is a bonus but not essential What you can expect as a CNC Machinist: Competitive salary, dependent on experience. Varied, technically interesting work rather than repetitive production runs Motorsport and high-performance engineering exposure Small, close-knit team where your input directly shapes how things are made Company pension 31 days holiday (including bank holidays) If you are interested in the role, please click apply and the Rise Search Limited team will be in touch with more details
