About Our Client

We are recruiting on behalf of a highly respected, rapidly growing precision manufacturing specialist based just south of Cambridge.

Maintain a clean, organized cell environment and perform routine machine maintenance.

*

Previous experience programming offline using CAM software is highly preferred. The company use Hypermill and FeatureCAM, but any other software is welcome.

*

Absolute confidence in reading, translating, and machining from technical drawings and CAD models.

Experience working to tight tolerances (often within microns) for high-tech industries where quality is paramount.

*

A reliable, self-motivated individual who enjoys technical problem-solving and works well within a collaborative team.

Highly competitive rates tailored to your exact experience level.
