CNC Turner

CNC Turner – Setter/Operator
Location: Wellingborough
Salary: Competitive + Overtime
Hours: Days
Industry: Precision Engineering

Looking for a role where you’re more than just a number on a shop floor?
We’re working with a second-generation, family-run precision engineering firm just outside Wellingborough, a business that’s built its name supplying complex, high-tolerance components into aerospace, motorsport and beyond. With around 50 people on-site, they’ve got the stability, structure and equipment of a top-tier outfit but the feel of a close-knit, no-nonsense team that genuinely values its machinists.
Their machine shop is clean, well-organised, and packed with Mazak kit (don’t worry if you haven’t used it before, they’re happy to train). It’s a place where you can sharpen your skills, work on challenging parts, and be part of a company that actually cares about doing things right.

Key Responsibilities:

• Set and operate CNC turning machines (Mazak – training provided)

• Carry out online and offline programming (Fanuc and Mazatrol exposure)

• Interpret and work from engineering drawings and specifications

• Perform quality checks using precision measuring instruments

• Conduct basic machine maintenance and complete route cards accurately

• Work closely with the Turning Team Leader to meet production targets

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience in a similar CNC turning role within precision engineering

• Apprentice-trained or equivalent hands-on experience preferred

• Keen to learn Mazak controls if not already familiar

• Strong attention to detail and a proactive, team-oriented mindset

• Able to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines

If you’re a CNC Turner who’s serious about quality and looking for a long-term move, we’d love to hear from you.
