● Support new product introduction (NPI), contributing to the design and machining of prototype products.
● Interpret engineering drawings covering machining and fabrication, ensuring all required manufacturing processes are planned.
● Inspect components throughout production, maintaining a strong focus on quality and right-first-time delivery.
● Maintain a clean, organised and safe working environment.
About you:
● Proven experience programming, setting and operating CNC milling and turning machinery, ideally including Hurco machines.
● Confident in organising workloads and coordinating machining activities to meet deadlines.
● Able to develop machining methods, select tooling and design practical jigs and fixtures.
● Experience producing one-off, prototype or small-batch components.
● An excellent understanding of technical engineering drawings and the relationship between machining and fabrication processes.
● A keen eye for quality, a practical approach to problem-solving and the ability to work independently.
● Experience supporting prototype development and new product introduction would be advantageous.
