CNC Engineer

You’ll be responsible for the whole CNC (milling & turning) process: programming in Mastercam, setting up the machine, and running production yourself. This hands-on role suits someone who takes ownership of their work and is confident working without close supervision.

Key Responsibilities

• Read and interpret engineering drawings, 3D models and GD&T
• Create and optimise CNC programs in Mastercam (2D, 3D and multi-axis toolpaths)
• Set up CNC machines on your own, including fixtures, workholding, tooling, work offsets and tool offsets
• Run machines on your own for prototypes, one-off jobs and production batches
• Prove out new programs and edit G-code at the machine when needed
• Inspect first-off and in-process parts with precision measuring tools (micrometers, verniers, height gauges, bore gauges, etc.)
• Keep quality standards high and tolerances tight
• Suggest improvements to cycle times, tool life and processes
• Do routine machine maintenance and keep the workshop clean and safe
• Follow health and safety procedures at all times
