An expanding engineering and manufacturing business is looking to recruit an experienced CNC Programmer with FANUC Experience to join its production team on a permanent basis.
This is a hands-on workshop role suited to a candidate who enjoys both CNC programming and practical machining work. The successful candidate will play a key role in operating and programming CNC machinery while supporting wider workshop activities when required.

Previous CNC Setter and Programmer experience
Ability to programme and edit CNC programs independently
Strong workshop and machining knowledge
Practical engineering mindset
