Job Description

CNC Machinist

Permanent Opportunity | Great Opportunity for an Experienced CNC Machinist

We’re looking for an experienced CNC Machinist to join a busy manufacturing environment working on heavy-duty components for the oil & gas industry.

This is a great opportunity for a skilled machinist who knows their way around a CNC lathe, takes pride in their work and enjoys finding better ways to get the job done.

About the Role

You’ll be machining large, heavy and long components, with a strong focus on quality, accuracy and process optimisation.

Your experience will include:

• CNC turning of heavy/thick-walled and long components


• Setting and operating CNC turning machinery


• Editing and adjusting programs to suit machining conditions


• Managing tool wear, heat and component deflection


• Optimising cycle times, tooling and machining processes


• Working from drawings, set-up sheets and machining standards


• Measuring finished components using micrometres, verniers/callipers, gauges and other precision equipment


• Checking tolerances, threads, hardness, straightness and other quality requirements


• Identifying and reporting non-conforming work


• Maintaining accurate production and quality records

Experience with oil & gas threads would be highly regarded, as would basic CAM knowledge and the ability to program directly from 2D drawings.

What We're Looking For

We're after someone who:

• Has 3+ years' CNC machining experience in a manufacturing environment


• Has strong CNC turning experience


• Is comfortable machining large/heavy components


• Can read and interpret engineering drawings


• Understands feeds, speeds, tooling and cutting conditions


• Takes quality and safety seriously


• Is calm, focused and reliable


• Communicates well and works well as part of a team


• Is willing to ask for help, share knowledge and contribute ideas


• Takes pride in continuous improvement and developing their skills

Discipline, a good attitude and a willingness to get involved are just as important as technical ability.

What's On Offer

• Permanent opportunity


• Work with heavy-duty, technically challenging components


• Structured manufacturing environment


• Opportunity to develop your skills


• Competitive salary based on experience

If you're an experienced CNC Turner who knows how to produce quality work and wants to be part of a solid manufacturing team, we'd like to hear from you.
