The business specialises in small batch production, one-off components and larger bespoke work, rather than repetitive high-volume production. We are looking for an experienced CNC Miller who can programme, set and operate. This is not a role for someone who only wants to set or operate machines — you will need to be confident programming jobs from drawings through to completed components. The Role * Programming, setting and operating CNC milling machinery from start to finish * Working from engineering drawings to produce accurate components * Programming using OneCNC CAM (Or other similar packages) * Selecting appropriate tooling, workholding and machining strategies * Setting machines and proving out programmes * Producing small batches, one-offs and bespoke components * Working on a wide variety of component sizes and materials * Inspecting your own work to ensure components meet drawing and customer specifications * Working within a flexible sub-contract environment where priorities and jobs can change regularly * Taking ownership of jobs from programming through to completion * Working with both standard-sized components and large-scale machining projects CNC Machinery The machine shop includes a varied range of CNC milling equipment, including: * 5m Soraluce travelling column machine – 3+2 machining * 3m Ibarmia ZVH 45 travelling column machine * XYZ 1020HD * Doosan 3-axis * Siemens and Heidenhain CNC controls All machines are programmed using OneCNC CAM, with individual programming licences available for each machine. About You We are looking for a genuinely skilled CNC Miller with strong machining experience and the ability to work independently. You should have: * Proven experience as a CNC Miller * Strong programming, setting and operating experience * Experience programming using CAM software * Ideally experience with Siemens and/or Heidenhain controls * The ability to read and interpret detailed engineering drawings * Strong knowledge of tooling, workholding and machining processes * Experience working within a sub-contract engineering environment * The ability to confidently work on both one-off and small-batch components * A methodical approach with excellent attention to detail * The ability to take a job from drawing and programming through to finished component Experience working on large travelling-column or large-capacity milling machines would be particularly advantageous, although candidates with strong general CNC milling and programming experience will also be considered. Working Hours & Benefits - Choice of 4 on 4 off shift pattern (07:30–18:00), providing weekend coverage, or a standard Monday–Friday day shift - 40 hours paid per week - Overtime available and paid at Time & Half - 22.5 days annual holiday - Varied machining environment with no repetitive mass production - Opportunity to work on both small and large-scale engineering projects The Environment This is a great opportunity for an experienced CNC Miller who enjoys variety and technical challenge rather than producing the same component day after day. With a team of around 30 people and a broad customer base across multiple sectors, the company offers the chance to work on everything from small precision components through to large fabricated and machined fabrications.
