CNC Miller – 5 Axis Programmer

Trident Recruitment is recruiting for an experienced 5-Axis CNC Miller / Programmer to join a high-level precision engineering business in Oxford.

This is an excellent opportunity for a technically strong CNC engineer who wants more than just another machining role. The company is looking for someone who can bring genuine 5-axis programming expertise to the team, with the opportunity to develop into a Senior / Leadership position as the business continues to grow.

The Role

You will be responsible for programming, setting and supporting complex multi-axis machining work, taking components from drawing through to finished part.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Programming complex 5-axis CNC milling machines
• Producing 5-axis simultaneous machining programs
• Offline programming using CAD/CAM software
• Programming, setting and proving out new components
• Working from complex engineering drawings and specifications
• Tooling selection, speeds, feeds and machining strategy
• Improving existing programs and reducing cycle times
• Troubleshooting machining and programming issues
• Supporting less experienced engineers within the machine shop
• Helping drive machining standards and continuous improvement

• Experience with 5-axis simultaneous machining
• Strong CAD/CAM programming knowledge
• Experience taking complex components from drawing to finished part
• Excellent understanding of tooling, workholding and machining strategies
• Ability to work to tight tolerances
• A strong precision engineering background

Previous supervisory or management experience is not essential. This could suit an excellent CNC Programmer who is currently hands-on but feels ready to progress into a Senior Engineer, Lead Engineer or future management position.

Package

• Salary up to 75,000 depending on experience
• Day shift
• Oxford
• Long-term career progression
