CNC Machinist (Milling & Turning) - 5 Days

About us

Established in 1993, we started with general machining and fabrication of spare parts. Over the years we have grown into a full-service precision engineering shop, expanding from traditional turning and milling to 4- and 5-axis CNC machining, and delivering jigs and fixture solutions tailored to our customers' needs.

About the Role

We are looking for a CNC Machinist who is more than just an operator. In this role, you will be responsible for both running the machine and owning the program behind it — writing, editing, and optimising CNC code rather than simply executing what someone else wrote.

You will have the authority and the responsibility to make programming decisions, improve processes, and shape how parts are made. This role suits someone who enjoys problem-solving, takes pride in their work, and can manage their own workflow without constant supervision.

Why us?

Most machine shops treat machinists as operators where you follow the program and keep the machine running. We do things differently. Here, you own the program. You decide how a part gets made, and you have the freedom to improve the process when you see a better way.

Tasks & Responsibilities

  • Write, edit, and optimise CNC programs from engineering drawings
  • Set up machines, select tooling, and determine cutting parameters independently
  • Perform in-process inspections and make real-time adjustments to maintain tolerances
  • Read and interpret engineering drawings and GD&T callouts
  • Coordinate with engineers and the QC team when design or quality questions arise
  • Carry out routine machine maintenance and keep your work area clean and organised
  • Ad-hoc duties as assigned
Qualifications
  • Minimum 2–3 years of milling and/or turning experience
  • Able to write & edit G-code and/or CAD/CAM programs independently
  • Able to read engineering drawings and GD&T
  • Familiarity with Mastercam or other CAM software is preferred
  • Experience with 4- or 5-axis CNC machining is preferred
  • Good communication skills in English
  • Self-driven, detail-oriented, and comfortable taking full ownership of your work
