- Feeding back on setup and run times to help make processes smoother.
- Keeping safety, quality, and maintenance front of mind.
What were looking for in a CNC Turner:
- Previous CNC turning experience, ideally with multi-axis lathes.
- Confidence with Fanuc or Mazak controls.
- A keen eye for detail, and pride in making parts right first time.
- If youve done a bit of CNC Milling too, thats a bonus but not essential.
Whats in it for you?
- Salary up to £46k depending on shift and experience.
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays.
- Excellent pension scheme.
- Death in service cover.
- Dental cover.
- And the kind of steady, well-structured environment where engineers want to stay.
