CNC Machinist | Advanced Innovative Engineering

We looking for a skilled CNC Machinist to support the production of high-precision components for aerospace and advanced propulsion systems. Working within a modern manufacturing environment, you will operate and set CNC machines across milling, turning, and EDM processes, using a wide range of industry-leading equipment and controls.

This role suits someone who wants to work on challenging, high-value, low-volume parts rather than routine production. The work is technically engaging, often involving prototype development, R&D components, small batches, and engine-critical parts.

You will be working with:

• Controllers: FANUC, Siemens, Mazatrol
• CAM Software: Autodesk Fusion 360

Key Responsibilities

• Set and operate CNC milling, turning, and EDM machines.
• Interpret engineering drawings, 3D models, and technical documentation.
• Produce parts to tight tolerances with consistent accuracy.
• Support programming and toolpath optimisation in Fusion 360.
• Select tools, fixtures, and machining strategies appropriate for each job.
• Carry out first-off, in-process.
• Work closely with engineers, designers, and quality teams to solve machining challenges.
• Contribute to process development as we scale engine production.
• Maintain a clean, organised, and safety-focused work environment.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience in CNC machining (milling and/or turning).
• Confident using FANUC, Siemens, or Mazatrol controls.
• Ability to read complex engineering drawings and 3D models.
• Experience working to tight tolerances (microns level advantageous).
• Familiarity with Fusion 360 CAM or willingness to learn.
• Experience with precision measuring tools; CMM training an advantage.

Hours and Environment

• Thirty-eight hours a week, Monday to Thursday, 7:30 am to 4:30 pm (with a 30-minute lunch break).
• Fridays, 7:30 am to 11:30 am.
• Standard 21 days of annual leave plus statutory bank holidays.
