CNC Miller – Open to 3 Axis or 5 Axis

Hayes | Very Competitive Basic + Lots of Overtime at 1.5x

A well-established precision engineering company is looking for a skilled CNC Miller to join its team.

This is a great opportunity for either:

• A strong CNC Miller who wants to develop onto 5-axis machinery

• Or an experienced 5-axis setter/operator who wants to work on modern equipment and be paid properly for their experience

The company operates state-of-the-art Matsuura machining centres, including multi-pallet systems used for lights-out machining, alongside other modern CNC equipment.

You’ll be producing high-tolerance components for industries including Aerospace, Defence, and Satellite Communications.

The role is focused on setting and operating, so you do not need to be an offline programmer.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Setting and operating 3 and 5-axis CNC milling centres

• Working mainly with Matsuura machines and Fanuc controls, producing high-precision components in small to medium batches

• Working from engineering drawings and carrying out in-process inspection

• Making offsets and basic programme adjustments where required

• Helping improve machining processes and efficiency

If you already have 5-axis experience, perfect.

If you are a confident 3-axis setter/operator with solid machining knowledge, they are happy to train you onto 5-axis machining.

What’s on offer

• Up to £48k depending on experience

• Regular overtime paid at 1.5x

• 39-hour working week

• 25 days holiday + bank holidays

• Training onto 5-axis machining

• Progression into Section Leader for the right person

This is ideal for someone who enjoys machining, wants to work on proper equipment and wants the chance to keep progressing technically rather than just running the same job every day.
