CNC Machinist (3-Axis Turning / VTL – Contract)
Location: Sheffield
Rate: £36.00 to £39.00 per hour depending on shift
Overtime: £45.25 to £49.75 per hour after 37 hours
Contract: 3-month contract
Start: Immediate

Up to £39 per hour, overtime paid at nearly £50 per hour, and a contract where the work is already running.

This isn’t a role where you’re walking into a slow ramp-up or unclear expectations. The work is there, the machines are running, and you’re brought in to support output from day one.

You’ll be machining precision components in an aerospace environment, working to tight tolerances and established processes. The expectation is straightforward. Read the drawing, set it correctly, and produce parts to standard.

What the role looks like day to day:
You’ll be working on 3-axis CNC turning / VTL machines, running jobs, carrying out inspection, and keeping output consistent across your shift. You may be running more than one machine where required.

What you will be doing:

• Operating and setting 3-axis CNC Turning / VTL machines
• Reading and working from engineering drawings and specifications
• Machining components to tight tolerances (±5 thou)
• Working with exotic materials and alloys
• Carrying out dimensional inspection using Verniers, micrometres and gauges
• Maintaining consistency and output across shifts
• Following strict quality standards including AS9100 and NADCAP
• Working to production targets and schedules
• Supporting continuous production during a busy period

What they are looking for:

• Strong CNC machining experience within turning or VTL
• Experience with Fanuc controls
• Able to read and interpret engineering drawings confidently
• Comfortable working to tight tolerances
• Experience working with inspection equipment (Verniers, gauges, micrometres)
• Apprenticeship trained or equivalent industry experience
• Background in aerospace or similar high-spec manufacturing is desirable
• You need to be someone who can get up to speed quickly, follow established processes, and work without close supervision.

Why take this contract:
The work is already in place and running. You’re not there to figure things out, you’re there to contribute straight away and keep production moving.
It’s a straightforward contract in a structured environment with clear expectations and strong rates throughout.

What you get:

• £36.00 to £39.00 per hour depending on shift
• Overtime paid at £45.25 to £49.75 per hour after 37 hours
• Immediate start
• 3-month contract with consistent work
