Location; Coventry
We are working with a well-established, family-run precision engineering business that has been trading for over 50 years. The company is consistently busy, producing prototype and one-off components for the defence, aerospace and automotive sectors.
We are looking for a CNC Operator / Programmer to join a small, highly skilled team. You will be programming, setting and running both CNC lathes and mills, moving between turning and milling as the work demands, and producing complex, tight-tolerance parts from drawings.
This role would suit a hands-on CNC engineer from a jobbing, toolroom or prototype background who loves a challenge and takes real pride in the parts they make. No two days are the same, and as part of a close-knit, friendly family business you will be a valued member of the team.
Responsibilities of a CNC Operator / Programmer:
- Program, set and operate CNC lathes and milling machines (Haas)
- Produce prototype and low-volume, high-precision components, including castings work
- Work from engineering drawings to tight tolerances
- Problem-solve with the floor manager and the wider team to get jobs right first time
Skills & Qualifications of a CNC Operator / Programmer:
- Hands-on CNC programming, setting and operating experience on both turning and milling
- A background in jobbing, toolroom, prototype or varied work, rather than high-volume production
- A genuine passion for machining and enjoyment in working things out for yourself
- A team player who will fit into a close-knit, friendly family business
- Experience in defence, aerospace or automotive, or on Haas or Mazak controls, would be a bonus but isn’t essential
Benefits of a CNC Operator / Programmer:
- £19 – £20 per hour depending on experience
- Monday – Thursday 07:30 – 16:30, Friday 07:30 – 12:30
- Paid overtime, including early weekday starts and Saturday mornings
- Annual pay rise
- Year-end bonus and Christmas bonus
- A secure, long-term, permanent position with a company that’s been going strong for over 50 years
The interview process is a face-to-face interview followed by a half-day practical trial on the shop floor.
