We are recruiting an experienced CNC Programmer, Setter & Operator to join a growing engineering and manufacturing business.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a hands-on machining environment and wants to become part of a business with plans for further growth and investment.

We are looking for someone with strong CNC programming and setting experience, ideally with Haas or Fanuc controls, who brings the right attitude, flexibility and enthusiasm to contribute to the ongoing development of the business.

You will be responsible for programming, setting and operating CNC machinery, producing precision components to the required specifications and maintaining high standards of quality and efficiency.

The business operates Haas and Fanuc-controlled machines, with two 5-axis Hurco machines also in the workshop.

You should be confident programming directly at the machine using G-code. Experience with CAD/CAM packages would be beneficial, although training can be provided for someone with the right machining and programming skills.

• Programme, set and operate CNC machinery.

• Use Haas or Fanuc controls to programme and operate machines.

• Programme directly at the machine using G-code.

• Set and operate machinery to produce components to the required specifications.

• Maintain high standards of quality and accuracy.

• Work with 5-axis machining equipment where required.

• Work flexibly to support production requirements.

• Contribute positively to the team and the continued growth of the business.

Essential Skills & Experience:

• Previous experience as a CNC Programmer, Setter & Operator.

• Strong working knowledge of Haas or Fanuc controls.

• Confident programming directly at the machine using G-code.

• Able to set and operate CNC machinery independently.

• A flexible approach to work and willingness to support different machining requirements.

• A positive attitude, strong work ethic and desire to be part of a growing business.

Desirable Skills:

• Experience with Hurco controls, particularly 5-axis machining.

• Knowledge of Fusion 360.

• Experience using PowerMill CAD/CAM software.

• Previous experience programming using CAD/CAM packages.

CAD/CAM experience is advantageous rather than essential. If you have strong G-code programming skills and the right machining experience, training on Fusion 360 and/or PowerMill can be provided.

• Hourly rates from -17.00 to -18.50, depending on experience and programming capabilities.

• Higher rates will be considered for candidates who can demonstrate strong machine and CAD/CAM programming skills.

• A planned company-wide pay review in January.

• The opportunity to join a growing engineering business and play a part in its continued development.

• Training on CAD/CAM programming packages for the right candidate.

If you are an experienced CNC Programmer, Setter & Operator with Haas or Fanuc experience and are looking for an opportunity where your skills, attitude and contribution will be recognised, we would like to hear from you.
