About the Role

CNC Turner / CNC Machinist

Location: Irlam, Greater Manchester
Position: Full-time, Permanent
Salary: £21-£24 Per Hour
Hours: Monday-Thursday 8:30AM-5PM Friday 8:30AM-3:30PM

The Role

We are currently recruiting for an experienced CNC Programmer / Setter / Operator to join a specialist machining operation.

You’ll be responsible for programming, setting and operating CNC lathes, working from engineering drawings and producing components to tight tolerances.

This is a hands-on role involving programming and editing ISO/G-code, selecting tooling, setting tools and offsets, proving first-off components and carrying out inspections.

You’ll also be expected to troubleshoot machining issues and look for ways to improve feeds, speeds, tooling and processes.

Key Requirements

  • CNC turning / lathe experience.

  • Programming, setting and operating experience.

  • Ability to read and edit ISO/G-code.

  • Engineering drawing and GD&T knowledge.

  • Experience with tooling, inserts and offsets.

  • First-off inspection experience.

  • Strong problem-solving skills.

  • Ideally 3+ years' experience or a time-served apprenticeship.

Desirable Experience

  • Live tooling.

  • Sub/twin spindles.

  • Bar feeders.

  • Multi-axis turning.

  • PTFE or polymer machining.

  • CMM inspection.

  • Fanuc, Mazak, Siemens or similar controls.

The Opportunity

You’ll be working with high-performance polymers alongside metals, including specialist materials such as PTFE. This makes the role well suited to someone who enjoys the technical side of machining and wants to work on varied, challenging components rather than repetitive production.
