The CNC Machining and Manufacturing Technician is responsible for the production of aerospace-grade fasteners, precision components, and complex assemblies used across a variety of industries.
These industries include automotive, aerospace, medical, defence, motorsport, sub-sea oil and gas, research and development, and power generation.
This role involves operating advanced manufacturing equipment and processes to produce high-quality components according to engineering drawings and strict customer specifications.
The position requires a strong understanding of machining processes, materials, and quality standards to ensure that all manufactured parts meet required tolerances and performance requirements.
The technician will work with a range of materials including low carbon steels, high-strength alloys, and exotic materials such as titanium and super duplex.
The role also involves collaborating with team members, line leaders, and managers to ensure production targets, quality standards, and health and safety requirements are consistently achieved.
Key Responsibilities
CNC Machining Operate and support the machining of components using CNC equipment, producing parts directly from engineering drawings and customer specifications.
Equipment may include CNC Turning Centres (Fanuc and Siemens), sliding head machines (Fanuc), Vertical Machining Centres (Fanuc and Siemens), and Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) systems.
The technician must ensure that machining processes produce accurate components that meet required tolerances and finish standards.
Forging Carry out the hot forming of aerospace fasteners and components using induction heating and mechanical press equipment.
This process forms metal components to the required shape while maintaining the structural integrity and strength required for high-performance applications.
Grinding Perform centreless grinding operations to refine forged and machined components.
This process ensures components achieve precise dimensions, high surface finishes, and strict tolerance requirements necessary for aerospace and precision engineering standards.
Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) Operate EDM equipment to perform specialised machining operations including EDM drilling, EDM die sinking (spark erosion), and EDM wire cutting.
These techniques allow for the accurate machining of complex geometries and hard materials that are difficult to machine using conventional methods.
Thread Rolling Produce threads using thread rolling processes rather than cutting methods.
Thread rolling improves thread strength and durability by forming the thread shape through material displacement rather than removal.
Quality and Compliance
Maintaining quality standards is a key responsibility of all personnel.
The CNC Machining and Manufacturing Technician must ensure that all manufacturing activities follow established quality procedures and production processes.
Attention to detail, accuracy, and adherence to specifications are essential to maintain the company's reputation for delivering high-performance components.
Key Skills and Attributes
Strong commitment to quality and accuracy
Effective communication with line leaders, managers, and colleagues
Strong problem-solving ability
Commitment to continuous improvement initiatives
Good housekeeping and workplace organisation
Awareness of health and safety practices to protect self and colleagues
High levels of motivation and accountability
Ability to follow and adhere to established manufacturing processes and procedures

Role Overview
The Quality Control Inspector plays a critical role in ensuring that all manufactured products meet the required quality standards before leaving the production facility.
This position is responsible for verifying that raw materials, in-process components, and finished products conform to engineering drawings, specifications, and internal quality procedures.
Working within a manufacturing environment, the Quality Control Inspector performs inspections, measurements, and tests to confirm product integrity and compliance with industry standards.
The role requires strong attention to detail and the ability to identify defects or irregularities during production.
Quality Control Inspectors use a variety of precision measuring tools and inspection equipment to validate dimensions, tolerances, and functionality.
Their primary objective is to prevent errors within the manufacturing process by identifying issues early, ensuring that only high-quality components and products reach customers.
The position also involves monitoring production processes, documenting inspection findings, and communicating quality concerns with production teams, supervisors, and other stakeholders.
By working collaboratively across departments, the inspector helps maintain consistent quality standards while supporting continuous improvement within manufacturing operations.
Quality Control Inspectors must follow strict quality management systems and regulatory requirements to ensure compliance with both internal company standards and external industry regulations.
Key Responsibilities
Inspection Conduct visual, physical, and functional inspections of raw materials, in-process components, and finished products.
Inspections are performed to verify that all items meet required specifications and quality standards before progressing through production or being released for delivery.
Measurement and Verification Use precision measurement tools such as micrometers, vernier calipers, height gauges, shadow graphs, and Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) to confirm that dimensions and tolerances align with engineering drawings and technical specifications.
Compliance and Standards Ensure that all products and processes comply with relevant quality management systems and industry standards.
This may include compliance with ISO 9001, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and industry-specific certifications such as AS9100 for aerospace manufacturing.
Inspectors must also ensure adherence to internal procedures, company policies, and applicable legal regulations.
Documentation and Reporting Maintain accurate records of inspection results and quality checks.
This includes completing inspection reports, maintaining quality logs, and producing non-conformance reports (NCRs) when products fail to meet required standards.
Production Monitoring Monitor the production process and perform inspections on random samples taken from the production line.
This ensures ongoing quality control and allows potential defects or process issues to be identified and addressed quickly.
Problem Solving and Process Improvement Work closely with production teams to identify root causes of defects or non-conforming products.
Provide feedback and recommendations to support process improvements and reduce the likelihood of future quality issues.
Equipment Calibration and Maintenance Ensure that inspection equipment is properly controlled, maintained, and calibrated.
Maintain accurate usage records and calibration logs to guarantee measurement accuracy and reliability.
Key Skills and Attributes
Strong attention to detail and accuracy
Knowledge of quality control procedures and inspection methods
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and technical specifications
Experience using precision measuring instruments and inspection equipment
Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
Effective communication and teamwork abilities
Commitment to maintaining high quality and safety standards
Organised record keeping and documentation skills
