Location: Hampton Lovett, Worcestershire (WR9 0NX)
Salary: Competitive & Negotiable (Based on skill) + 1.5x Overtime
Ready to move beyond repetitive, high-volume manufacturing?
At Stour Precision Tools, we don’t just "run parts." For 59 years, we’ve built an outstanding reputation for designing and manufacturing bespoke, high-end work-holding solutions—from robotic welding fixtures to intricate end-of-arm grippers.
We are looking for two skilled CNC Millers who crave variety, enjoy technical challenges, and want to work with everything from small, intricate components to large-scale precision fabrications.
Why Join Us?
* True Variety: You’ll produce one-off and low-volume components for jigs and fixtures. No two days are the same.
* Up-Skilling & Training: Master our Hartford HEP-2150 CNC Double Column Machining Centre and Soraluce FS8000 3+2 axis travelling column machine.
* Modern Tech: Use OneCNC or Tebis for offline programming and operate high-spec Doosan DNM 500 II and DNM 5700 VMC’s
* Work-Life Balance: Early finish every Friday (1:00 PM on standard days).
* Solid Package: 33 days holiday, free on-site parking, and a rewarding overtime structure.
The Role
Reporting to the Operations Manager, you will take ownership of the machining process from drawing to finished part. Your day-to-day will include:
* Programming & Setting: Working with Fanuc and/or Heidenhain controls.
* Programming Methods: Direct machine programming from drawings or offline programming from STEP files.
* Precision Focus: Setting and operating 3-axis machines to tight tolerances.
* Quality First: Self-inspecting components to ensure they meet our "gold standard" reputation.
What We’re Looking For
You are a motivated machinist with a precision engineering background. You should have:
* Proven experience in CNC programming, setting, and operating (3-axis minimum).
* The ability to interrogate 3D CAD files and read complex engineering drawings.
* A "right first time" attitude—essential for one-off precision parts.
* Ability or potential for machining larger fabrications
Hours & Flexible Start times and Shift Patterns (for those who prefer this)
* Standard: Mon-Thu 08:00–17:00, Fri 08:00–13:00 (39 hours). (1 hour flexibility on standard start and finish times)
* Double-Day Shift: (Occasional if preferred) with a 15% allowance for afternoon-shifts.
* Mornings: Mon-Thu 06:00–14:30, Fri 06:00–11:00.
* Afternoons: Mon-Thu 14:00–22:30, Fri 10:30–15:30.
