Are you a CNC Machinist looking to join an established engineering and manufacturing business in Luton?
This role is not just about pushing a button. You'll need to be confident reading and understanding engineering drawings, working out the material required, setting up the machine and programming and operating it to produce the finished component. You'll be working with bespoke machinery and low-volume production, so you'll need to be confident working independently, solving problems and making decisions throughout the machining process.
Job Role:
Setting, programming and operating CNC milling machines or CNC lathes
Machining components to engineering drawings and specifications
Working to close tolerances and high-quality standards
Using measuring equipment including micrometres and Vernier calipers
Manufacturing and modifying tooling, jigs and fixtures where required
Making adjustments to machine settings to ensure components meet specification
Ideal Candidate:
Minimum 5 years' experience within an engineering/manufacturing environment
Proven experience setting and operating CNC milling machines
Experience programming CNC machines would be desirable
Experience with CNC vertical mills and/or CNC lathes
Experience with any of Hurco, Fanuc, Mazatrol / Mazak, Siemens / Doosan Puma controls would be advantageous
Confident reading and working from engineering drawings
Able to work to close tolerances
Manual machining experience would be advantageous, as would a time-served apprenticeship would be desirable
