Looking for a role that offers genuine variety, technical challenge and the opportunity to put your machining skills to use every day?
We're recruiting for an experienced Senior CNC Toolmaker to join an established and highly respected manufacturing business in Birmingham. This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on engineer who enjoys a mix of CNC machining, toolmaking, problem-solving and precision engineering within a well-equipped toolroom environment.
This isn't repetitive production machining. You'll be responsible for manufacturing, modifying and repairing bespoke tooling, jigs, fixtures and precision components that directly support the success of the business.
The Role
As a key member of the Toolroom team, you'll be involved in a wide range of engineering activities including:
-
Programming, setting and operating CNC milling and turning machines
-
Manufacturing precision tooling, jigs, fixtures and specialist components
-
Producing one-off, prototype and small-batch parts
-
Operating conventional toolroom machinery including milling machines, centre lathes and surface grinders
-
Diagnosing tooling issues and carrying out repairs to minimise downtime
-
Reading and interpreting engineering drawings and tight tolerances
-
Inspecting finished components using precision measuring equipment
-
Supporting production with tooling improvements and engineering solutions
-
Working closely with Engineering and Production teams on continuous improvement projects
What We're Looking For
To be successful in this role, you'll have:
-
Previous experience as a Toolmaker, Toolroom Engineer, CNC Machinist or Precision Engineer
-
Strong CNC machining experience with the ability to programme, set and operate machinery
-
A background in precision engineering and toolmaking
-
Experience working with both CNC and conventional machine tools
-
The ability to manufacture components from engineering drawings with minimal supervision
-
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
-
A proactive approach and pride in producing high-quality work
Highly Desirable
-
Experience with Hurco and/or Fanuc controls
-
CAD/CAM knowledge
-
Press tool, die or precision tooling experience
-
Apprenticeship-trained engineer or recognised engineering qualification
What's On Offer?
-
£38,000 - £40,000 basic salary
-
Days only: 07:30 - 16:00
-
25 Days Holiday
-
Company Pension matched up to 6%
-
Permanent role with a stable and growing manufacturer
-
Supportive engineering environment with genuine autonomy
Why Apply?
If you're a skilled machinist who enjoys working on varied, technically challenging projects rather than high-volume production work, this role offers an excellent opportunity to join a business where your expertise will be valued and your contribution will make a real difference.
