CNC Machinist / Turner Setter Looking for a CNC turning role where you can work on varied, high-quality components rather than just repetitive production work? Im recruiting on behalf of an established precision engineering company with over 25 years of manufacturing experience, producing complex components for industries including Aerospace, Formula One, Motorsport, Medical, Pharmaceutical, Renewable Energy, Oilfield and Defence. They are now looking to add a skilled CNC Machinist / Turner to their dayshift team. If youre confident setting CNC lathes, comfortable working to tight tolerances and ideally have some programming experience, this could be a very strong long-term move. The Role Youll be setting and operating CNC turning centres, producing precision-engineered components from engineering drawings across a varied workload. This is not just a button-pushing role. Youll be trusted to set machines properly, make adjustments, manage tooling and offsets, and take ownership of producing quality parts efficiently. Programming experience would be highly beneficial, although strong setters who are willing and capable of developing further will also be considered. Experience on any of the following would be beneficial Multi-Axis CNC Lathes Twin Spindle Machines Sub-Spindle Lathes Mill-Turn Centres Live Tooling Lathes Other modern CNC Turning Centres What they're looking for Experienced CNC Turner / Setter Confident setting machines independently Programming experience highly advantageous Fanuc experience preferred but not essential Experience with twin spindle, multi-axis, sub-spindle or live tooling machines advantageous Able to confidently read engineering drawings Comfortable working to tight tolerances Strong understanding of tooling, offsets and machining processes Previous precision engineering experience Experience within Aerospace, Motorsport, Defence, Medical or other high-quality engineering environments would be beneficial, although not essential.
