- 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
