Are you a CNC Swiss Sliding Head Lathe Setter/Operator looking to deepen your technical skillset through Training & Qualifications, in a precision, close-tolerance environment? Do you enjoy programming, proving-out and improving processes to push cycle times and quality?

On offer is a permanent role with a global, high-precision engineering manufacturer supplying demanding sectors such as aerospace, medical and automotive, where you'll be trusted to take ownership of programming and process improvement on Swiss-type sliding head lathes.

You'll be joining a business that actively supports technical development, with a strong focus on quality, safety and continuous improvement-ideal if you want long-term depth in CNC rather than "just running parts".

You'll be site-based in Southwell, programming, setting and operating Swiss-type sliding head CNC lathes (Star/Citizen/Tornos style), proving out new work and maintaining tight tolerances in high-volume production.

This role suits a technically driven engineer who wants technical progression through specialist CNC development, training, and deeper process ownership-not a sideways move doing the same basic setting work forever.

The Role:

Program, set and operate Swiss-type sliding head CNC lathes producing high-precision, high-volume components
Site-based in Southwell
Shift pattern: 2 weeks days / 2 weeks nights (37.5 hours/week) with overtime available
The Person:

Proven experience programming, setting and operating Swiss-type sliding head CNC lathes (e.g., Star/Citizen/Tornos)
Comfortable working to tight tolerances from engineering drawings in a fast-paced, high-precision environment
Familiar with Fanuc CNC control systems (other controls considered)
Reference Number: BBBH(phone number removed)
