If you take quiet pride in precision work - and find satisfaction in doing things properly the first time - this could be a role where your strengths are genuinely valued.

Our client is a specialist CNC machining company, producing high-precision components for industries where detail matters: aerospace, medical, motorsport, and scientific instrumentation. This isn't high-volume or rushed work. It's skilled, careful, and consistent - and they're looking for someone who works in the same way.

They're currently seeking a CNC Setter/Turner to join their established team on a permanent basis. You'll need solid experience in setting and operating CNC lathes, ideally with Fanuc controls, and confidence in troubleshooting issues as they arise. If you're someone who can quietly guide others and is open to stepping into a team lead role, there's scope for that too.

Your Role Will Involve:

Setting and operating CNC turning machines (sliding head and/or fixed head)

Interpreting detailed engineering drawings and specifications

Carrying out first-off and in-process inspections using precision instruments

Making necessary adjustments to maintain part quality

Ensuring machines run smoothly with minimal downtime

Keeping your workspace clean and organised in line with 5S principles

Completing job cards and quality documentation accurately

Supporting and mentoring less experienced team members

What We're Looking For:

Proven experience as a CNC Setter in a turning environment

Familiarity with Fanuc (or similar) control systems

Confident reading and working from technical drawings

Skilled in using micrometers, verniers, and other measuring tools

Methodical, steady approach to problem-solving

Strong attention to detail and a commitment to doing things properly

Desirable Experience:

Experience with Star or Citizen sliding head machines

Understanding of CNC programming or editing

Awareness of Lean Manufacturing or Continuous Improvement principles

What's on Offer:

£32,500 - £36,500 DOE

25 days holiday

Life insurance (4x annual salary)

Permanent position in a supportive, skilled team

Mego Employment Ltd acts as an employment agency for permanent staff and an employment business for temporary workers
