Hours: Monday – Friday, fulltime 

Ready to put your skills to work in a business that still values true engineering craft while continually investing in the future? We're on the lookout for a CNC Miller with strong Heidenhain experience to join a forward-thinking precision manufacturing team in Portsmouth.

If you're a detail-driven CNC Miller who enjoys a calm but focused daytime environment and thrives producing quality parts, this could be a great move.

- Select tooling, cutting data, and machining strategies
- Set and operate 3-axis, 4-axis & 5-axis machines
- Read and interpret complex engineering drawings
- Perform first-off and in-process inspections
- Work with engineering and production teams to improve processes

 
What We’re Looking For

- Proven experience as a programmer
- Confident with Heidenhain controls (essential)
- Hypermill experience preferred: other CAD/Cam software also considered
- Strong knowledge of tooling, feeds & speeds
- Good understanding of GD&T
- Quality-focused mindset and problem-solving ability
- Able to work independently and as part of a team
