If you know your way around a lathe and take pride in doing things right, this could be a strong next move.

We’re working with a well-established aerospace manufacturer in Sheffield who are growing their team. This is skilled work on high-spec parts where precision and finish matter. The machines are solid, the work is steady, and there’s a real sense of pride in getting things done properly.

You’ll be using both CNC and manual lathes to turn components made from exotic materials. It’s a role that needs a bit of care, attention and confidence behind the controls. If you’re someone who likes knowing their work actually matters, this is worth a look.

What you’ll be doing:

• Running and setting up a mix of CNC and manual turning machines.
• Working on parts made from aerospace-grade materials.
• Following detailed drawings and route cards to machine parts to spec.
• Carrying out your own checks with verniers, micrometers and gauges.
• Keeping your workspace clean and machines in good working order.
• Logging completed work and raising any issues as needed.
• Working alongside the wider team to keep things moving.

What we’re looking for:

• Experience across both CNC and manual turning.
• Confident reading technical drawings and working to spec.
• Used to working in high-precision or aerospace environments.
• Comfortable with manual inspection tools and following SOPs.
• Someone who’s steady, focused and works well with others.
• Knowledge of lean principles like 5S would be useful.

What’s in it for you:

• £37,570.65 salary including shift premium.
• 37-hour week with early finish every Friday.
• 185 hours holiday plus bank holidays.
• An extra 3 paid days off over Christmas.
• Option to buy or sell 37 hours of holiday every year.
• Free hot drinks every Friday.
• Employee Assistance Programme with up to 12 counselling sessions.
• 24/7 GP access through YuLife.
• YuLife rewards for walking, cycling and mindfulness.
• 5% company pension contribution.
• Westfield Health scheme.
• Bravo Benefits discounts on gyms, retail and more.
• Salary sacrifice scheme for electric and hybrid vehicles.
• Critical illness cover.
