Machinist

Hydrasun is a recognised market leader in the provision of integrated fluid transfer, power and control solutions, supporting critical sectors including energy, renewables, industrial and marine markets worldwide.

About the Role

This is a hands-on, precision-driven role where you will play a key part in delivering high-quality machined components aligned to both customer specifications and internal quality standards.

Operating within a fast-paced, highly collaborative workshop, you will be responsible for running and setting machines, interpreting job requirements, and ensuring components are produced safely, accurately, and efficiently.

No two days are the same — you may move between short production runs and bespoke, customer-driven work, requiring adaptability, attention to detail, and strong problem-solving capability.

• Proven experience as a Machinist / Manual Lathe Operator / Setter
• Strong understanding of machining processes, tooling, and technical drawings
• High attention to detail with a strong focus on quality and accuracy
• Ability to manage workload and prioritise tasks effectively
• Strong team working ethic with the ability to work independently

Desirable Experience, Qualifications and Competencies:

• Recognised apprenticeship or engineering qualification (HNC or equivalent)
• Experience in engineering, manufacturing, or bespoke machining environments
• Exposure to working within quality-controlled environments

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Set up and operate machines in line with job specifications and procedures
• Interpret job tickets, drawings, and route cards to ensure correct production
• Verify tooling, materials, and documentation prior to machining
• Carry out first-off inspections and ongoing quality checks during production
• Monitor machine performance and cutting tools to maintain quality standards
• Ensure all components meet drawing requirements, including gauging and finishing
• Identify and segregate non-conforming parts and support rework where required
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organised working environment at all times
• Support wider manufacturing operations and work collaboratively with welding and inspection teams

Why Hydrasun

• Work within a collaborative, highly skilled machine shop team
• Exposure to both production and bespoke engineering work
• A role that is challenging, varied, and critical to operational success
• Opportunities to take ownership and develop your capability
• A business built on safety, quality, integrity, and innovation
