We are currently seeking an experienced CNC Operator to join a well-established and forward-thinking manufacturing business based in Leeds. Specialising in material handling components, the company is known globally for its innovation and high standards in engineering excellence. With decades of experience and a reputation for quality, they supply cutting-edge products used across a variety of industrial sectors.

This role is ideally suited for a CNC Operator with a strong background in turning operations, particularly using FANUC-controlled lathes. The position involves the production of precision-turned hubs critical to high-performance mechanical systems. A structured handover and training period will be available from the current operator until December, offering valuable support and continuity.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Operate, set, and program CNC lathes with FANUC controls
  • Manufacture high-precision components (primarily hubs) to exacting specifications
  • Conduct in-process and final quality checks to ensure tolerance compliance
  • Read and interpret technical drawings and work independently to tight tolerances
  • Maintain a safe, clean, and efficient work environment
Requirements:
  • Minimum 2 years of CNC machining experience
  • Proficiency in programming FANUC-controlled lathes preferred (not just setting/operating)
  • Previous experience as a CNC Operator in a manufacturing environment
  • Strong understanding of turning operations and quality control procedures
  • Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and a proactive attitude
This is a fantastic opportunity for a dedicated CNC Operator who enjoys precision work and is looking for a stable, long-term position within a supportive team. The business offers a professional and well-organised environment, with convenient on-site parking.

If you're an experienced CNC Operator looking to join a dynamic company with strong global reach and a reputation for excellence, we'd love to hear from you.
