Shillito Group is recruiting an experienced CNC Turner Programmer to join an established precision engineering business in Rotherham.

This is a programming and setting role, ideal for someone confident taking components from engineering drawings through to completed, inspected parts. Applications are also welcome from skilled CNC Turners with strong bar feeding experience who are looking to develop further in programming and setting.

You''ll work with modern CNC turning machinery, producing high precision components while taking ownership of programming, tooling, setting, inspection and process improvement.

The role

• Program, set and operate CNC turning machines
• Produce precision-engineered parts from technical drawings
• Create, edit and improve CNC programs
• Set tooling and prepare machines for production
• Adjust speeds, feeds, offsets and machine parameters
• Complete first-off and in-process inspection
• Work with driven tooling, live tooling and multi-axis machining
• Resolve machining and production issues
• Improve cycle times, tool life and overall efficiency
• Operate more than one machine when required
• Complete quality and traceability documentation
• Support continuous-improvement activities

What we''re looking for

You''ll have previous CNC turning experience, ideally including programming and setting CNC lathes or turning centres. This is not an operator-only position, so you should be comfortable editing programs, setting tools and offsets, proving out jobs and inspecting your own work.

We are particularly keen to hear from CNC Turners with good bar-feeding experience.

Useful experience includes:

• Multi-axis CNC turning
• Bar-fed machining
• Driven or live tooling
• Small, complex or high-precision components
• G-code or CAM-based programming
• Working to tight tolerances
• Machining stainless steel, titanium, brass or engineering plastics

You should also be confident reading engineering drawings and using precision inspection equipment such as micrometres, verniers, callipers and gauges.

Shillito Group is a specialist recruitment and executive search partner, working with ambitious businesses to secure high-impact talent across commercial and engineering markets. Our reputation is built on deep expertise, trusted relationships and delivering results that go beyond the brief.
