Cnc Machinist

CNC Machinists (Milling & Turning) – 4 Day Working Week

£24.50 per hour (including shift allowance and night shift premium)
Overtime paid at £31.50 per hour

Jackson Hogg is recruiting on behalf of a well-established precision engineering business in East Cleveland with over 60 years of engineering excellence.

Supplying high-value components into the defence, marine, rail, and power generation sectors, including international exports, this company combines a strong engineering heritage with ongoing investment in modern machinery and a genuine commitment to developing long-term careers for skilled machinists.

Due to sustained growth and increasing workload, we are seeking experienced CNC Turners, Vertical Borers, CNC Millers, and Horizontal Borers to join the team on a permanent basis.

The Role

These positions involve setting, programming, and operating large-format CNC turning, milling, and boring machinery to manufacture precision-engineered components. This is one-off and short-run machining, not production-line work, requiring a high level of skill, accuracy, and engineering judgement.

You will work from engineering drawings, taking components from raw material through to finished product, often machining large, technically challenging, and safety-critical parts.
