  • Create and optimise CNC milling programs using HyperMill (or similar CAD/CAM software)

  • Set and operate up to 5-axis CNC machining centres, ensuring efficient and accurate production

  • Troubleshoot machining and programming issues to maintain production performance

  • Support quotations, new project introductions and customer requirements where required

What We’re Looking For:

  • Previous experience as a CNC Programmer within a precision engineering environment

  • Strong CAD/CAM programming experience, ideally HyperMill, OneCNC or similar

  • Good understanding of machining processes, tooling and cutting strategies

  • Ability to work independently while also supporting wider manufacturing teams
