This position is not just a job; it's a chance to engage with cutting-edge technology and contribute to the creation of exceptional products.

As a CNC Lathe Setter/Programmer, you will be entrusted with setting and programming state-of-the-art sliding head CNC machining centres.

Your role is critical in maintaining the seamless production of components that meet exacting standards. You will be expected to multitask by setting and operating multiple machines, ensuring tooling and inspection records are meticulously maintained.

Your analytical skills will be put to use as you interpret engineering drawings, verifying that part dimensions adhere to strict tolerances and documenting checks on process control sheets.

Your expertise will be pivotal in programming, tooling changes, and machine overhauls for both new and existing components.
