Apply NowJob Title: CNC Machinist
Location: Knottingley
Hourly Rate: Circa £45,000
Shifts: 8am - 4pm M-T 8am - 1pm F
Benefits:
*
Permanent position within an established engineering business
*
Long-term, stable engineering environment
*
Opportunity to work on large and technically interesting components
*
Varied machining work rather than repetitive high-volume production
*
Opportunity to develop experience across specialist machinery
The Company:
Theo James Recruitment is proud to be supporting an established heavy engineering business looking to strengthen its machining team with an experienced CNC Machinist.
Operating from a large, specialist engineering facility, the business undertakes varied machining work involving large components, repair work and one-off engineering projects.
Due to continued demand and plans to expand the workforce, they are now looking for a CNC Machinist who can bring strong machining knowledge to the workshop.
Job Description:
As a CNC Machinist, you will work across specialist CNC machinery, with a particular focus on machines operating Siemens 840D controls.
The role includes needing to work mainly on a horizontal boring machine alongside other CNC equipment. The horizontal boring work is predominantly suited to someone from a milling background, although broader machining experience would be highly advantageous.
Responsibilities will include:
*
Programming using Siemens 840D controls
*
Working predominantly on horizontal boring/milling operations
*
Machining large and varied engineering components
*
Setting jobs and producing components to engineering requirements
*
Supporting other CNC machining activities throughout the workshop
*
Working confidently and safely around large machinery and components
Skills & Experience:
The ideal CNC Machinist will have:
* Experience programming, setting and operating CNC machinery
*
Siemens experience, ideally Siemens 840D
*
A strong CNC milling or horizontal boring background
*
Experience within heavy engineering would be beneficial but is not essential
*
Confidence working with larger machines and components
*
Broader milling and turning knowledge would be advantageous
The business understands that experienced Union machine operators are extremely difficult to find, so applications are welcomed from a CNC Machinist with transferable horizontal boring or milling experience.
Why Should You Apply?
This is an excellent opportunity for a CNC Machinist looking to move away from repetitive production machining and work within a specialist heavy engineering environment.
You’ll have the opportunity to work with unusual, large-scale machinery, develop your existing skills and become part of an experienced workshop team.
If you’re an experienced CNC Machinist with Siemens programming experience and want a technically varied long-term position, this could be an excellent next move
