CNC Turner – Setter / Operator / Programmer
Location: PE28
Salary: Dependent on experience
Job Type: Permanent / Full-time
Our engineering client is looking for an experienced CNC Turner – Setter, Operator & Programmer to join their team based in the PE28 area.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced CNC Turner who is confident with setting, operating and programming CNC turning machinery and is looking for a role where their experience and technical ability will be valued.
We are looking for someone who can work confidently and independently, producing quality components from engineering drawings while maintaining high standards throughout the machining process.
The Role
As a CNC Turner, you will be responsible for setting and operating CNC turning machinery, programming and making programme adjustments, and ensuring components are produced accurately and efficiently.
Your responsibilities will include:
Setting CNC turning machines
Operating CNC lathes safely and efficiently
Programming CNC machines
Editing and adjusting existing programmes where required
Working with Haas controls
Selecting and setting appropriate tooling
Setting tool offsets and making adjustments during production
Reading and interpreting engineering drawings
Working to specified dimensions and tolerances
Carrying out first-off and in-process inspection
Measuring finished components using appropriate inspection equipment
Identifying and resolving machining issues
Making adjustments to tooling, offsets, speeds and feeds where necessary
Maintaining consistent quality throughout production
Working to production schedules and deadlines
Keeping the work area clean, safe and organised
The Ideal Candidate
We are looking for an experienced CNC Turner who has a strong practical understanding of machining and is comfortable taking a component from drawing through to finished part.
The successful candidate will ideally have experience across setting, operating and programming, rather than being purely an operator.
Experience with Haas controls is particularly desirable.
You should be able to work from engineering drawings, understand tolerances and machining requirements, and have a good understanding of tooling and cutting conditions.
The ability to work independently is important, as is having a methodical approach to producing accurate, high-quality components.
Experience & Skills
Ideally, you will have:
Previous experience as a CNC Turner
Strong CNC setting experience
CNC operating experience
CNC programming experience
Experience using Haas controls
Good knowledge of CNC turning processes
Ability to read and understand engineering drawings
Good understanding of tolerances and machining requirements
Experience setting tooling and offsets
Ability to make programme adjustments and optimise machining processes
Experience using measuring equipment
A strong eye for detail and quality
Good problem-solving skills
Ability to work both independently and as part of a team
Programming Experience
Programming ability is an important part of this position.
We are looking for someone who is comfortable making programme changes and, ideally, creating programmes where required rather than simply loading and running existing programmes.
The exact level of programming experience will be considered alongside your overall machining background, so if you are particularly strong in setting and programming and have extensive CNC turning experience, we would like to hear from you.
The Company
RNJ Fabrications is an established engineering and fabrication business based in the PE28 area, working on a range of engineering and manufacturing requirements.
This is an opportunity to join a practical engineering environment where your machining experience and technical ability can make a real difference.
The role would suit an experienced CNC Turner who enjoys hands-on machining, takes pride in their work and wants to be part of a skilled engineering team.
Salary & Benefits
Salary is dependent on experience and skill level.
The company is prepared to recognise candidates who bring strong setting and programming experience, particularly those who can work independently and produce high-quality components with minimal supervision.
Further details regarding salary, overtime and the overall package will be discussed with suitable candidates.
