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
