• Perform in-process and final inspection of components.
• Use measuring equipment such as verniers, micrometers and gauges.
• Maintain required dimensional accuracy and product quality.
• Complete production and quality documentation accurately.
• Report machine, tooling or quality issues to the appropriate personnel.
• Maintain a clean, safe and organised working area.
• Meet agreed production targets while maintaining quality standards.
• Follow all company, health & safety and aerospace quality procedures.

• Previous experience working as a CNC Operator within a manufacturing or engineering environment.
• Experience operating CNC machinery in a production environment.
• Ability to follow engineering drawings, work instructions and production documentation.
• Good understanding of dimensional tolerances and quality requirements.
• Competent use of basic inspection and measuring equipment.
• Strong attention to detail.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Reliable and flexible approach to working night shifts.

• Previous experience within the aerospace industry.
• Experience working with precision components and tight tolerances.

• High level of attention to detail.
• Quality-focused approach.
• Safety-conscious.
• Good problem-solving skills.
• Comfortable working independently on a night shift.
• Flexible and willing to support production requirements.

The ideal candidate will be an experienced CNC Operator with a strong background in precision manufacturing. Aerospace experience would be particularly beneficial, but candidates with relevant CNC experience from other high-precision engineering sectors will also be considered.

The successful candidate must be comfortable working nights and maintaining consistent levels of quality, accuracy and productivity throughout the shift.
