• Solid experience with Fanuc controls
• Confident working across 3, 4 and 5 axis machining
• Must be able to make programme tweaks and edits at the machine
• Offline programming experience would be beneficial, though not essential
• Ability to read and work from complex engineering drawings
• Experience within an aerospace or precision engineering environment; knowledge of Rolls-Royce drawings and previous work on Rolls-Royce parts would be a strong advantage
• A methodical, quality-focused approach and good attention to detail
• Time-served apprenticeship or equivalent industry experience preferred

What's On Offer

• £18 – £22 per hour, depending on experience
• Day shift, Monday to Thursday (39 hours) — enjoy a three-day weekend, every week

• Opportunity to work on varied, high-precision aerospace-grade components
• Supportive team environment with genuine scope for progression
