CNC Turner Programmer Setter Operator

We are a market-leading specialist in the manufacture of ultra-precision, high-performance components. We don't work with your run-of-the-mill metals; instead, we engineer complex components from advanced, high-strength technical materials designed to withstand extreme environments. Our products are vital to pioneering industries, including aerospace, medical, semiconductor, and defense.

If you are a skilled CNC Turner who loves a technical challenge and enjoys working to exceptionally tight tolerances, you'll fit right in.

The Role

We are looking for a skilled CNC Turner who can Program, Set, and Operate Mazak CNC Lathes.

Because our materials are highly specialized, this isn't a "button-pushing" high-volume job. You will be working on low-volume, high-value runs, requiring a methodical approach, deep machining knowledge, and a high level of attention to detail.

Key Responsibilities

• Program, set, and operate Mazak CNC Lathes using Mazatrol (and/or ISO) controls.

• Set up tooling, choose correct speeds/feeds, and prove out new programs safely.

• Manufacture low-volume, high-precision parts down to micron-level tolerances.

• Interpret technical engineering drawings and geometric tolerances (GD&T).

• Perform self-inspection on parts using micrometers, verniers, and shadowgraphs to ensure flawless quality.

• Collaborate with the engineering team to optimize machining processes for challenging, non-standard materials.

What We Are Looking For

• The Mazak Expert: Strong, hands-on experience programming, setting, and operating Mazak CNC Lathes (Mazatrol controls are essential).

• Precision-Focused: Proven experience working to extremely tight tolerances (microns matter here).

• Material Savvy: While experience with our specific high-performance materials is a bonus, a background machining challenging materials (like superalloys, exotics, or hard plastics) is highly desirable.

• The Problem Solver: Someone who can look at a complex drawing, figure out the best machining strategy, and execute it independently.

What’s in It for You?

• Clean & Modern Environment: Work in a clean, temperature-controlled, state-of-the-art facility.

• Competitive Pay: Excellent hourly rate with plenty of overtime potential.

• Great Benefits: Generous pension scheme, health cash plan, and [Insert Number] days holiday.

• Stability & Growth: We are growing rapidly, meaning genuine opportunities for long-term career progression and technical training.
