⦁ Strong working knowledge of Fanuc controls
⦁ Solid experience in either Fixed Head OR Sliding Head turning
⦁ Ability to program and set independently
⦁ Good understanding of tooling, speeds & feeds
⦁ Confident reading engineering drawings
⦁ Competent using micrometers, verniers and gauges
⦁ Experience within a subcontract precision engineering environment
Desirable
