Job Description:

CNC Turner Setter Operator (day shift)
Tewkesbury | Permanent | Job security & advanced earnings + Overtime

Monday to Friday day shift, lunch time finish every Friday
Focus on premium quality. Friendly, encouraging environment, not high-pressure production
Advanced earnings + Overtime available
Long-term job security and career progression with a growing company
Modern machines. Smart, clean shop floor. All the tooling and equipment you need easily available to do your best work
Real opportunity to develop programming skills
Producing premium quality patented products which truly make a difference to peoples’ lives


UPDATE - Having hired two new CNC machinists recently, their progress and integration into the team has been a real success. Now that these new members of the team are both established in their roles, the company have agreed a plan to hire an additional seven CNC Turners to take the company into the next phase in their growth plans.


The Opportunity
We’re looking to hire experienced CNC Turner Setter Operators on a permanent basis to join a long-established, precision engineering company who have been producing their own premium quality products in Tewkesbury for over 60 years.
These are CNC turning-focused roles working on high-precision components in a modern, clean, well organised and well equipped machine shop. The patented products you’ll be making will go on to make a difference in peoples’ lives in an industry you can be truly proud of being involved in.
You’ll be joining a business where people stay long-term, with vacancies only arising through growth or retirement rather than turnover.
With plans in place for the company to grow over the next five years, you’ll have the opportunity (if you want it - not everyone does!) to develop your career in the direction you want – this might be taking on more responsibility, or developing your CNC programming skills if that’s a path you would like to take.

Pay & Shifts
Day shift
Monday – Friday day shift, lunch time finish every Friday, 39 hours per week
Salary: To give you an idea, the salary budget for these roles will be around £35,000 to £42,000 per annum but please do get in touch with your earnings requirements. The broad salary range is to welcome machinists with a wide range of experience so if you have just a few years under your belt or if you have more skills and experience, we will welcome your application.
Salaries are reviewed regularly taking your progression into account and you will have the opportunity to earn a lot more than this.

What you’ll be doing

• Set and operate CNC lathes producing precision-engineered components
• Carry out machine set-ups including tooling selection and program loading
• Work with Fanuc and/or Mazak controls (if you have used different controls before, you will be given all the support and training you need until you’re fully settled in)
• Inspect your own work using verniers, gauges and measuring equipment
• Read and work from engineering drawings to tight tolerances
• Support continuous improvement and develop programming skills over time

What we’re looking for

• Experience as a CNC Turner
• Ability to complete full CNC lathe set-ups
• Experience working with engineering drawings and inspection tools
• The type of control panel you’ve used up until now isn’t important, you'll be using Fanuc and Mazatrol
• Attention to detail and pride in your work

Benefits & culture
This is a stable, long-term opportunity with a company that invests heavily in its people and equipment. The workshop is modern, bright and well-maintained, with all the tools and equipment you need to do your job properly.
You’ll be supported from day one, working alongside experienced engineers in a team-focused environment where quality is the number one priority.

What’s on offer:

• High earnings potential
• Rewards and recognition to reflect your effort
• Formal pay review every year
• Four day working week
• Long-term job security
• Great long-term career prospects
• Regular overtime opportunities to boost your earnings
• 24 days holiday + all bank holidays (increasing with service)
• High value company pension contributions
• Life insurance policy 2 x your annual salary at no cost to you
• Christmas shutdown
• Christmas bonus
• Clean, bright and modern working environment
• Free on-site parking
• Clear progression, including CNC programming development
