Salary dependant on experience
Are you an experienced CNC Miller or VMC Setter looking for a permanent days-based role with an established UK manufacturer?
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the hands-on side of CNC machining and wants a role where you'll be trusted to take ownership of your own set-ups.
Working within a busy manufacturing environment, you'll be responsible for setting VMCs for predominantly small-batch production, producing first-offs and making the necessary adjustments to ensure components are machined accurately and efficiently.
This is mainly a setting role rather than programming from scratch, with the opportunity to develop your experience further across 5-axis machining.
What you'll be doing
- Setting VMCs ready for small-batch production runs
- Setting tooling, fixtures, workholding and offsets for each job
- Loading existing CNC programs and making adjustments where needed
- Producing first-offs, checking your work and making sure everything is right before production
- Working from engineering drawings and using verniers, micrometres and gauges to check components
- Keeping jobs running smoothly, monitoring quality and dealing with tooling or machining issues as they arise
What we're looking for
- Hands-on experience setting CNC milling machines / VMCs
- You'll need to be confident using Fanuc controls
- Experience working with 3, 4 or 5-axis machining centres
- Comfortable setting your own tooling, workholding and offsets
- Able to confidently read engineering drawings and produce accurate first-offs
- A good practical understanding of machining, tooling and tolerances, with an eye for quality
If you're an experienced CNC Miller, VMC Setter or CNC Milling Setter with Fanuc experience and this sounds like the right move for you, apply now, I'd love to see your application.
