We are supporting a manufacturing business on a hands-on CNC engineering role, focused on developing, proving, and optimising machining processes directly on the shop floor.

This is not a traditional desk-based CAM role, and it is not sales or pre-sales focused. The position sits at the heart of machining performance, owning CNC methods from customer drawing through offline programming, prove-out, and into stable production.

The remit is to deliver robust, repeatable and cost-effective machining processes, with a strong emphasis on cycle time improvement, process stability, and continuous improvement at the machine.

What the role involves

* Developing high-quality offline CNC programs for complex components, including multi-axis machining

* Creating CAD models and defining machining strategies, tooling, fixtures, and setup documentation

* Leading prove-outs, cutting trials, and process optimisation on the shop floor
