CNC Machinist

CV-Library

Posted on Jun 9, 2026 by CV-Library
Old Kent Road, Greater London, United Kingdom
Engineering
Immediate Start
£38k - £55k Annual
Full-Time
CAM Machinist (CNC)

Location: Southwark, London
Salary: Up to £55,000 + benefits (including equity/stock options)
Job Type: Full-time | Shift pattern to be confirmed

Overview

We're supporting a high-growth, technology-led manufacturing business building a next-generation production facility in London.

This is a genuinely unique opportunity to join at launch stage - working at the intersection of precision engineering, automation, and software. The focus here isn't just machining parts, it's helping shape how modern manufacturing is done.

You'll play a key role in programming, setting and running advanced CNC machines while contributing to a highly automated, data-driven environment.

The Role

You'll take ownership of the full machining lifecycle - from programming and prove-out through to optimisation and repeat production.

Key responsibilities include:

Programming, simulating and optimising CNC toolpaths (3-axis / 5-axis / mill-turn)
Setting, proving out and running high-precision components
Driving cycle time reduction and machine utilisation improvements
Developing and improving fixturing strategies
Selecting tooling and cutting parameters across a range of materials (aluminium, steels, titanium, Inconel)
Supporting new part introduction from concept through to production
Providing DFM feedback to improve manufacturability
Collaborating closely with engineering and software teams to support automation and process improvement
Contributing to standardisation as the operation scales

What We're Looking For

This role is deliberately different to a traditional machinist hire.

Technical capability matters but mindset is critical.

We're particularly interested in individuals who:

Are curious, adaptable and motivated to learn
Want to be part of a start-up or scale-up environment
Have an interest in automation, software and modern manufacturing systems
Are comfortable working closely with software engineers and technical teams
Take pride in their work and thrive in a high-performance, high-ownership culture

Experience in any of the below is beneficial:

CAM programming (Fusion 360, Hypermill, Mastercam or similar)
High-end CNC machinery (Hermle, DMG Mori, Mazak etc.)
Tight tolerance machining (±0.01mm or better)
Aerospace, defence or other high-spec environments

Why This Role is Different

This isn't a traditional machine shop environment.

The business is building a highly automated, software-integrated manufacturing model - meaning:

You'll work directly alongside software developers influencing how the factory operates
There's genuine opportunity to shape processes from day one
You'll be part of a team focused on continuous improvement and innovation, not just production

What's on Offer

Salary up to £55,000
Benefits package + equity/stock options
Access to advanced machinery and evolving automation systems
Opportunity to influence how a new facility is built and scaled
A high-growth environment with real long-term progression
