CNC Operator
Location: Wellingborough
Salary: Competitive + Overtime
Hours: Days
Industry: Precision Engineering

Looking to develop your machining skills in a business that genuinely invests in its people?

We’re working with a second-generation, family-run precision engineering company just outside Wellingborough, supplying high-precision components into aerospace, motorsport and other demanding industries. With around 50 employees on-site, they’ve built a strong reputation for quality, long-term stability and developing their team from within.

Their modern machine shop is equipped with a range of 3, 4 and 5-axis CNC machinery, offering the opportunity to work on complex components while developing your skills alongside experienced setters, programmers and team leaders.

Key Responsibilities:

·       Operate 3, 4 and 5-axis CNC milling machines to produce high-precision components

·       Carry out basic machine setting, tool changes and in-process inspections

·       Read and work from engineering drawings and route cards to ensure components meet specification

·       Complete deburring, finishing and production documentation while maintaining quality standards

What We’re Looking For:

·       Previous CNC machining experience within a precision engineering environment

·       Ability to read engineering drawings and use measuring equipment confidently

·       Experience operating Fanuc-controlled machinery would be advantageous

·       Reliable, quality-focused individual with a strong work ethic and team-oriented approach

If you’re looking to join a well-established precision engineering business where you can continue developing your machining skills and work on interesting, high-specification components, we’d love to hear from you.
