Did you learn your trade on the machines and now want a say in how parts are made, not just the job of making them? Do you want the chance to build an in-house machining function from scratch and grow with it? An ambitious engineering business working across top-tier motorsport and high-performance sectors is bringing machining in-house for the first time. They are moving to a new site and need the right person to own that shift from day one. This is a hands-on role and, to start with, most of your time will be on the machine: setting, programming and proving out parts yourself. What sets it apart is that you will also advise a small team of skilled design engineers on manufacture, material choice and machinability before a part reaches the machine. There is no existing workshop to slot into, so you set the standard. It will suit someone who came up through CNC setting and programming and has moved, or wants to move, towards manufacturing engineering, production or planning. As the business grows, the role is expected to grow with it, with genuine scope to move into Production Planning and own machinery HandS and policies.Your responsibilities as a Manufacturing Engineer: Set, programme and operate a turn/mill CNC machine (Mazak Integrex or similar), working predominantly in steels Programme using Mazak conversational programming or an equivalent control system Select tooling, work holding and cutting parameters, and prove out new programs from scratch Manufacture ..... full job details .....
