CMM Operator
Northamptonshire
Double Day Shift

If you’re experienced operating CMMs and want to work around some genuinely interesting high-performance engine components, this could be a great move.

We’re working with an established high-performance engineering manufacturer looking to add a CMM Operator to their metrology team. You’ll be working across a range of precision-manufactured engine components, using both PC-DMIS and ZEISS CMMs to ensure parts meet the required standards before moving through production.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Operating PC-DMIS and ZEISS CMMs to inspect a range of precision engine components.

  • Carrying out dimensional inspection and hard gauging in line with production requirements.

  • Identifying non-conformances and escalating any issues found during inspection.

  • Supporting the wider metrology team with changing inspection priorities and continuous improvement activities.

What we’re looking for:

  • Previous experience operating CMMs within a precision manufacturing environment.

  • Experience using PC-DMIS, ZEISS or similar CMM software.

  • Good understanding of engineering drawings, tolerances and ideally GD&T.

  • Confident using a range of precision measuring and inspection equipment.

You’ll need to be comfortable working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment where priorities can change depending on production requirements.

The role works an alternating early and late shift pattern, with overtime opportunities available.
