Cnc Turner Programmer Setter Operator

About the Role

Contek are recruiting for a well-established precision engineering specialist looking for a skilled and motivated CNC Turner to join our busy machining team.

In this role, you will be responsible for producing high-quality, precision components ( bespoke engineering parts). The parts are large. You will be working primarily with Fanuc controls and must be fully capable of programming, setting, and operating 2-axis and multi-axis turning centers from engineering drawings.

Key Responsibilities

• Program, set, and operate CNC Lathes equipped with Fanuc control systems.

• Work directly from technical engineering drawings to produce precise components to tight tolerances.

•  program at the machine controls and create new programs for one-off/small-batch production.

• Perform full setups, including tooling selection, jaw changing, and datum setting.

• Inspect your own work using standard measuring equipment (micrometers, verniers, bore gauges) to ensure strict quality standards.

• Machining medium-to-large scale components across a variety of materials (metallic alloys, steel, plastics, etc.).

• Maintain high standards of health and safety and keep work areas clean and orderly.

Candidate Requirements

• Experience: Proven, hands-on experience as a CNC Turner within a high-precision manufacturing environment.

• Controls: Strong proficiency in Fanuc programming (G-code / M-code editing and offline or manual programming at the machine).

• Skills: Ability to program, set, and operate independently without constant supervision.

• Technical Literacy: Ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings and geometric tolerances.

• Inspection: Confident in first-off and in-process dimensional inspection.

• Background: Experience working with hydraulic components or heavy engineering parts is advantageous, but not essential.

What We Offer

• Competitive pay rate with regular overtime opportunities.

• Clean, well-maintained workshop environment.

• Company pension scheme.

• Generous annual leave allowance.

• Ongoing training and professional development.
