CNC Setter Operator

CNC Setter / Operator Whitchurch Full Time, Permanent Hours: Monday to Friday 08:00 to 16:45 and early Friday finishHands-on machining. Precision parts. Room to develop.

If you’re an experienced CNC Setter/Operator who takes pride in getting machines set correctly, producing quality components and keeping production moving, this could be a great opportunity.

We’re looking for someone with Drill CNC experience to join an established manufacturing environment in Whitchurch, working across CNC milling, saw and manual machining.

This is a genuinely hands-on position, with plenty of variety and the opportunity to build on your existing CNC skills and develop your programming knowledge over time.

What will you be doing?

You’ll be involved throughout the machining process, including:

• Setting and operating Robo Drill CNC milling machines
• Setting and operating saw and manual machinery
• Reading engineering drawings and working accurately to dimensions and tolerances
• Measuring and inspecting finished components
• Selecting and setting tooling correctly for each job
• Carrying out efficient machine changeovers
• Loading and checking CNC programmes, with the opportunity to learn more about CNC programming
• Using Renishaw probing where required — experience is useful but not essential
• Supporting prototype and new component work
• Troubleshooting machine and machining issues
• Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, quality and repeatability
• Keeping machinery, tooling and your working area clean, safe and well maintained

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who is practical, reliable and confident around CNC machinery.

You’ll ideally have:

• Previous CNC Setting and Operating experience
• Strong CNC setting and operating experience
• Good understanding of milling and machining processes
• Experience with manual machining and/or saws
• Ability to read engineering drawings and specifications
• Experience using inspection and measuring equipment
• Good knowledge of tooling and machining methods
• Strong attention to detail
• Good practical problem-solving skills
• A willingness to learn and develop

If you’re a capable Setter/Operator with the right Robo Drill experience and you’re interested in developing your programming skills, there is scope to learn and progress within the role.

A role where you can keep developing

This isn’t about bringing someone in and expecting them to know everything from day one.

If you’re already a strong CNC Setter/Operator, you’ll have the opportunity to learn, broaden your skill set and develop your programming knowledge as you become more experienced in the role.

So, if you’re looking for a position where you can put your existing CNC skills to work while continuing to develop, we’d like to hear from you.
