You'll ideally have:
Experience setting and operating CNC machinery within a manufacturing or engineering environment.
The ability to read engineering drawings and use precision measuring equipment.
Experience supporting production, maintaining quality and resolving technical issues.
Good communication skills and the confidence to make decisions independently.
A responsible and organised approach to leading a team on nights.
Experience with EDM machinery, machine maintenance, Lean manufacturing techniques, CAD/CAM or offline programming would be beneficial. Knowledge of quality standards such as ISO 9001 or AS9100 would also be an advantage.
