A well-established precision manufacturing business is looking to strengthen its machine shop team with an experienced CNC Machinist. This is a hands-on role within a clean, structured production environment, ideal for someone who takes pride in accuracy, consistency and producing high-quality components.

This opportunity is open to candidates from any precision engineering or manufacturing background - sector experience is far less important than attitude, skill and attention to detail.

The role

You'll be part of a close-knit machining team responsible for producing precision-engineered components to tight tolerances. The role offers variety, responsibility and long-term stability within a well-run manufacturing operation.

Key responsibilities:

  • Operating CNC turning and/or milling machines
  • Using manual machinery where required
  • Working from engineering drawings, job cards and machining instructions
  • Completing first-off and in-process inspection checks
  • Accurately recording work using shop-floor systems
  • Supporting production flow to meet deadlines
  • Maintaining high standards of quality, safety and housekeeping

What we're looking for

  • Proven experience in a machining or precision manufacturing environment
  • Hands-on experience with CNC turning and/or milling machines
  • Confident reading and interpreting technical drawings
  • Strong attention to detail and a quality-focused approach
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, production-led environment
  • Reliable, proactive and team-oriented
  • Physically fit and happy in a hands-on role

What's on offer

  • Salary of £30,000 - £33,000 depending on experience
  • Early finish every Friday
  • Regular optional overtime available
  • Secure, long-term position within a stable manufacturing business
  • Supportive team and well-organised production environment
  • Generous benefits package
  • Opportunity to develop skills and progress over time

If you're an experienced CNC Machinist looking for a stable role where quality matters and your work is valued, we'd like to hear from you.
