The Role:

  • Supervise and support CNC machinists/operators across setup, tooling, workholding and inspection standards
  • Coordinate daily priorities to hit production schedules and delivery commitments
  • Troubleshoot machining/tooling/programming issues and drive corrective actions
  • Drive continuous improvement (setup reduction, tooling optimisation, efficiency) and maintain 6S standards
  • Monday-Thursday 8:00-17:00, Fridays 8:00-14:30 (40 hours)


The Person:

  • Strong CNC machining background (setting, operating and troubleshooting CNC machine tools)
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and GD&T
  • HNC/HND (Mechanical/Manufacturing/Industrial) or equivalent relevant experience
