Job Description:

Trident Recruitment is recruiting for an experienced 5-Axis CNC Miller / Programmer to join a high-level precision engineering business in Oxford.

This is an excellent opportunity for a technically strong CNC engineer who wants more than just another machining role. The company is looking for someone who can bring genuine 5-axis programming expertise to the team, with the opportunity to develop into a Senior / Leadership position as the business continues to grow.

The Role

You will be responsible for programming, setting and supporting complex multi-axis machining work, taking components from drawing through to finished part.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Programming complex 5-axis CNC milling machines

• Producing 5-axis simultaneous machining programs

• Offline programming using CAD/CAM software

• Programming, setting and proving out new components

• Working from complex engineering drawings and specifications

• Tooling selection, speeds, feeds and machining strategy

• Improving existing programs and reducing cycle times

• Troubleshooting machining and programming issues

• Supporting less experienced engineers within the machine shop

• Strong CAD/CAM programming knowledge

• Experience taking complex components from drawing to finished part

• Excellent understanding of tooling, workholding and machining strategies

• Ability to work to tight tolerances
