Manual Machinist

Huntingdon | £36,050 | Permanent | Full Time

Are you an experienced Manual Machinist who enjoys hands-on, precision engineering work?

We’re working with an established and growing business, supplying specialist products to customers across a range of high-tech and scientific industries.

They’re looking for a skilled Manual Machinist to join their workshop team. This is a varied, hands-on role where your experience with manual lathes and milling machines will be put to good use, producing specialist components to customer specifications.

What you will be doing:

  • Setting up and operating manual lathes and milling machines

  • Manufacturing components to engineering drawings and specifications

  • Working with a variety of materials to produce high-quality finished products

  • Inspecting finished components to ensure accuracy and quality

  • A good understanding of machining techniques and workshop practices

  • Ability to work accurately and produce components to specification

  • Good attention to detail and pride in the quality of your work

  • A practical, flexible approach and willingness to learn

You don’t need to tick every box or have experience with every type of workshop equipment. If you’re confident working with manual lathes and mills, we’d love to hear from you.

What can you expect in return:

  • Salary of £36,050

  • 22 days annual leave, rising to 25

  • Company-funded private healthcare

  • Company pension with 5% employer contribution

  • Life assurance and critical illness cover
