If you're a capable CNC Turner who takes pride in producing right-first-time parts, this could be a great long-term move. Join a quality-focused machining team where consistency, standards and good workmanship are genuinely valued.

In this hands-on production position, you'll set and operate FANUC-controlled Nakamura CNC lathes, producing repeat components to tight tolerances. You'll also support continuous improvement-especially on new or developing jobs where the best method, tooling and paperwork need to be established and embedded.

• Measure and inspect parts to confirm conformance prior to first-off submission
• Produce first-off batches for First Article approval
• Support first production parts through FAIR and/or PPAP requirements
• Help build stable, repeatable production (methods, tooling and supporting documentation)
• Suggest CI ideas and help implement approved improvements to quality, efficiency and consistency
• Communicate clearly with colleagues and relevant departments to maintain flow and standards
• Maintain excellent housekeeping and safe working practices at all times
• Support additional shop-floor tasks where your skills are required

Required:

• Proven CNC turning experience at setter/operator level
• Strong quality mindset and ability to follow specifications and instructions
• Able to work to realistic deadlines without compromising standards

Desirable:

• Time-served engineering apprenticeship
• FANUC control experience
• Experience working to control plans
• 5S / Lean manufacturing exposure
• AS9100 knowledge/experience (advantageous)
