Senior CNC Machinist

Senior CNC Machinist Build brilliant things. Break stuff (occasionally). Fix it better. Repeat. We''re UCL Mechanical Engineering - one of the oldest and most respected engineering departments in the UK. We''ve been doing this since 1847, and we''re still at it: designing cleaner engines, building solar power stations out of featherweight materials, and figuring out how blood cells behave in spaces smaller than a human hair. Now we need someone who knows their way around a workshop. Someone who can take a sketch, raise an eyebrow, and say, "I can make that better." Someone who''s not afraid of a challenge, doesn''t need hand-holding, and can talk shop with professors and students alike. What you''ll actually be doing: Making custom parts for research rigs, student projects, and experimental setups. Fixing, tweaking, and improving lab equipment - combustion engines, wave tanks, and all sorts of bespoke gear. Talking through ideas with academics and students, then turning those ideas into solid, working kit. Advising on materials, design tweaks, and how to make things run smoother, stronger, and smarter. Using machines like mills, lathes, EDM, water-jet cutters, grinders, and 3D printers. If you haven''t used them all, we''ll train you up. Helping out with bigger department projects - refurbishing labs, setting up new spaces, and hitting deadlines when things get busy. Who we''re after: You''ve got solid CNC machining experience and know how to get things done. Experienced ..... full job details .....
