CNC Turner
Weymouth, Dorset
CNC Turner Salary: £28,000–£36,000 + Benefits
Take control of your machining career with flexible hours and a steady stream of precision engineering work. You’ll get the freedom to shape your day, with optional overtime and varied projects that keep things interesting. Whether you’re setting up, programming or doing a bit of both, there’s room to develop your skills and earn more.
As a CNC Turner, you’ll be working with modern CNC machines, including 2, 3, 4, and 5-axis setups with live tooling. This isn’t repetitive work; you’ll be producing parts for sectors like aerospace, medical, and motorsport, all to tight tolerances - around 20 microns. That kind of precision means your expertise will always be in demand, and you’ll build a strong portfolio of high-spec work.
There’s also the chance to progress. If you’re currently focused on set-up and operation, you can move into programming, and if you’re already programming, you can take on more complex machining challenges. You’ll be supported with training and the tools to keep moving forward.
What you’ll do as a CNC Turner
Turn raw metal into precision parts that keep high-tech industries moving. You’ll set tools, edit programs, and run machines efficiently, making sure every job hits the mark first time. You’ll also handle a variety of materials and batch sizes, giving you a broad range of experience.
Work with a company that’s been around for decades, offering precision engineering and manufacturing services to industries like aerospace, medical and defence. They invest in the latest technology and skilled personnel, so you’ll always have access to top-tier equipment and training.
What you’ll need

Experience setting and operating or programming (depending on your level)
At least 5 years of experience as a CNC Turner or apprentice-trained

Space Sector Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

The UK space sector is no longer a niche curiosity. It is now a strategic industry worth billions, employing tens of thousands of people across nearly 2,000 organisations – and it has been growing faster than the wider UK economy for years. At the same time, employers report serious skills shortages, especially in software, data and systems engineering, with recruitment and retention now cited as key barriers to growth. For job seekers, this is encouraging – but it does not mean every space application is an easy win. For recruiters, competing for talent with tech, defence, energy and finance is only getting harder. This article, written for www.ukspacejobs.co.uk , explores the space sector hiring trends to watch in 2026, aimed at both: Job seekers searching for terms like “space jobs in the UK”, “satellite jobs UK”, or “space engineer roles”; and Recruiters and hiring managers interested in “space sector hiring trends” and “space recruitment UK”.

Space Industry Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK space‑sector hiring has shifted from pedigree‑first screening to capability‑driven evaluation across the full stack—spacecraft systems, payload/RF, flight software, GNC/ADCS, propulsion, structures/thermal, AIT (assembly–integration–test), mission/ground operations, reliability/radiation, and compliance (ECSS, export control). Employers want proof you can build, test, operate and scale space systems safely and economically. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for satellite/spacecraft engineers, payload & RF/MM‑wave, flight & ground software, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal, AIT/test, mission ops, data/EO, and space product/TPM roles. Who this is for: Systems engineers, payload/RF engineers, flight software & FDIR, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal/structures, propulsion, AIT/test, reliability/radiation, QA/compliance, ground segment/cloud, mission operations, EO/data processing, and product/programme managers targeting roles in the UK space ecosystem.

Why Space Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

The UK’s space sector is growing fast — from satellite systems and Earth observation to satellite communications, space robotics, propulsion, space data analytics, and mission operations. But the nature of space work is changing. Projects involving satellites, launch systems, space robotics and ground infrastructure are now embedded in regulation, public perception, human interaction and cross-disciplinary design. Space careers in the UK used to be dominated by engineers, astrophysicists, systems analysts and telemetry experts. Today, they increasingly demand fluency not only in aerospace, software, electronics & data, but also in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. After all, space systems operate under treaties, privacy constraints, public scrutiny, international collaborations and human interfaces. In this article, we explore why space careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with space work, and what job-seekers & employers must do to thrive in this evolving cosmos.
