DR Newitt Engineering & Manufacturing are currently working with an established engineering and manufacturing business who are looking to recruit an experienced CNC Machinist / Setter Operator to join their team.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced CNC machinist looking for strong long-term earning potential, a structured shift pattern and the opportunity to work within a modern engineering environment.
The role will initially operate on a 3-shift rotation:
-
6:00am – 2:00pm
-
2:00pm – 10:00pm
-
10:00pm – 6:00am
The business is planning to move to a Continental shift pattern, with earnings expected to be in the region of £52,000 per annum once this is introduced.
What's In It for You?
-
Permanent position with an established engineering business
-
Opportunity to secure a role with a clear long-term shift structure
-
Work with modern CNC machinery and predominantly Fanuc controls
-
Varied machining work rather than simply loading and unloading machines
-
Opportunity to develop your CNC setting and machining skills
-
Join an experienced and supportive manufacturing team
-
Long-term career opportunity within a stable business
As a CNC Setter / Operator, you'll be responsible for setting and operating CNC machinery to produce quality components to drawing specifications.

-
Reading and interpreting engineering drawings
-
Carrying out first-off and in-process inspections
-
Using measuring equipment to ensure components meet specification
-
Making tool and offset adjustments where required

About You
We're looking for someone who can hit the ground running and is confident working independently within a CNC machining environment.
You'll ideally have:
-
Previous CNC Setter / Operator experience
-
Experience with Fanuc controls
-
Good understanding of CNC machining processes
-
Ability to read and work from engineering drawings
-
Experience setting tools, offsets and workholding
-
Experience machining to tight tolerances
