Job Description:

Are you a skilled CNC Turner looking for more than just running cycles?
  
An ambitious engineering business working across motorsport and high-performance sectors is bringing machining in-house for the first time. They are moving to a new site and need a confident turner with strong lathe skills to be part of that move, with real opportunity to grow as the team does.
  
You will work alongside a small team of skilled, design-focused engineers who know their components inside out but need someone who can turn those designs into reality on the lathe - advising on manufacture, material choice and machinability, then delivering it yourself. Turning capability is the immediate priority, though mill/turn skills across both turning and milling would be ideal, and this is very much a growing business: they need someone driven enough to grow with it.

There is genuine scope to move into a Production Planning position and take ownership of machinery H&S and policies as the business scales.
  
Your responsibilities as a CNC Machinist:

• Set, programme and operate the CNC mill/turn (Mazak Integrex or similar) - working predominantly in steels
• Programme using Mazak conversational programming or an equivalent control system
• Select tooling, work holding and cutting parameters, and prove out new programs from scratch
• Manufacture one-off and small-batch precision components to tight tolerances
• Review designs and advise on the best approach to manufacture, materials and machinability
• Carry out first-off and in-process quality inspection using standard metrology equipment

Your current experience which will help you a CNC Machinist:

• At least 3 years' hands-on CNC turning experience, confidently setting and programming a lathe rather than just operating - mill/turn capability (e.g. a Mazak Integrex), covering both turning and milling, would be ideal
• Confident interpreting engineering drawings and tolerances, and comfortable advising on manufacturability
• Experience with Mazak conversational programming (or an equivalent control) is a strong advantage - CAM experience is also a plus
• A practical, resourceful mindset - happy working things out independently and knowing where to go for support
• Driven and ambitious, with a genuine desire to grow beyond the machine
• Experience with gear machining equipment (e.g. Pfauter or Lorenz) is a bonus but not essential

What you can expect as a CNC Machinist:

• Competitive salary, dependent on experience.
• Varied, technically interesting work rather than repetitive production runs
• Motorsport and high-performance engineering exposure
• Small, close-knit team where your input directly shapes how things are made
• Company pension
• 31 days holiday (including bank holidays)
