Haich Recruitment is recruiting an experienced CNC Turner / Programmer / Setter / Operator on behalf of an established precision engineering business based in Manchester.

We are looking for a genuinely hands-on CNC machinist who can confidently program, set and operate CNC turning machinery rather than simply operate pre-set machines.

The Role

You will be responsible for:

  • Programming, setting and operating CNC turning machinery

  • Working from engineering drawings

  • Setting jobs independently

  • Editing and proving out programs

  • Selecting tooling and making offsets/adjustments

  • Producing precision components to demanding tolerances

  • Carrying out dimensional and quality checks

  • Troubleshooting machining and production issues

Machines / Controls

Experience with Mazak Quick Turn / QT series machinery, particularly the Quick Turn 250 (QT250), would be highly advantageous.

Relevant experience may include:

  • Mazak Quick Turn / QT series

  • Mazatrol controls

  • XYZ ProTURN / ProtoTRAK

  • Similar CNC turning machinery where you have independently programmed, set and operated machines

Candidates with closely related Mazak turning experience are encouraged to apply even if they have not operated the exact QT250 model.

About You

You should be an experienced CNC Turner / Programmer / Setter / Operator capable of taking responsibility for your own jobs.

You should be comfortable programming and setting machines, reading engineering drawings, proving out jobs and making the necessary tooling, program and offset adjustments.

Experience within aerospace, defence, nuclear, oil & gas or other high-precision engineering environments would be advantageous, not essential.

Due to the nature of the work and secure site, candidates must be able to satisfy the required security clearance requirements.
