An expanding engineering and manufacturing business is looking to recruit an experienced CNC Setter Programmer to join its production team on a permanent basis.
This is a hands-on workshop role suited to a candidate who enjoys both CNC programming and practical machining work. The successful candidate will play a key role in operating and programming CNC machinery while supporting wider workshop activities when required.

* Programming and setting CNC machinery
* Producing drilled components and fabricated parts
* Operating CNC drilling equipment
* Running associated workshop machinery including saws and punches
* Adjusting programs and machine settings as required
* Supporting process improvements
* Assisting with training and development of future operators
* Maintaining quality and production standards
Candidate Requirements
* Previous CNC Setter and Programmer experience
* Ability to programme and edit CNC programs independently
* Strong workshop and machining knowledge
* Practical engineering mindset
* Able to work with minimal supervision
* Strong problem-solving skills
* Previous experience mentoring or training others would be advantageous
What's On Offer
* Permanent full-time position
* £16.11 - £16.65 per hour
* Overtime available when required
* Overtime paid at enhanced rates
* Stable day shift pattern
* Long-established employer
