• Working from engineering drawings, job cards and machining instructions
• Completing first-off and in-process inspection checks
• Accurately recording work using shop-floor systems
• Supporting production flow to meet deadlines
• Maintaining high standards of quality, safety and housekeeping

What we're looking for

• Proven experience in a machining or precision manufacturing environment
• Hands-on experience with CNC turning and/or milling machines
• Confident reading and interpreting technical drawings
• Strong attention to detail and a quality-focused approach
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, production-led environment
• Reliable, proactive and team-oriented
• Physically fit and happy in a hands-on role

What's on offer

• Salary of £30,000 - £33,000 depending on experience
• Early finish every Friday
• Regular optional overtime available
• Secure, long-term position within a stable manufacturing business
• Supportive team and well-organised production environment
• Generous benefits package
• Opportunity to develop skills and progress over time
