Haich Recruitment is recruiting an experienced CNC Turner / Programmer / Setter / Operator on behalf of an established precision engineering business based in Manchester.
We are looking for a genuinely hands-on CNC machinist who can confidently program, set and operate CNC turning machinery rather than simply operate pre-set machines.
The Role
You will be responsible for:
Programming, setting and operating CNC turning machinery
Working from engineering drawings
Setting jobs independently
Editing and proving out programs
Selecting tooling and making offsets/adjustments
Producing precision components to demanding tolerances
Carrying out dimensional and quality checks
Troubleshooting machining and production issues
Machines / Controls
Experience with Mazak Quick Turn / QT series machinery, particularly the Quick Turn 250 (QT250), would be highly advantageous.
Relevant experience may include:
Mazak Quick Turn / QT series
Mazatrol controls
XYZ ProTURN / ProtoTRAK
Similar CNC turning machinery where you have independently programmed, set and operated machines
Candidates with closely related Mazak turning experience are encouraged to apply even if they have not operated the exact QT250 model.
About You
You should be an experienced CNC Turner / Programmer / Setter / Operator capable of taking responsibility for your own jobs.
You should be comfortable programming and setting machines, reading engineering drawings, proving out jobs and making the necessary tooling, program and offset adjustments.
Experience within aerospace, defence, nuclear, oil & gas or other high-precision engineering environments would be advantageous, not essential.
Due to the nature of the work and secure site, candidates must be able to satisfy the required security clearance
requirements.
