Work

What you’ll do at work

The applicant will be predominantly running and programming CNC mills and lathes in CAM. They will be involved in all stages of manufacture from preparing and setting up machines, loading material, and running programs, deburring, preparing parts for surface finishes, inspecting parts in process and in our metrology lab with a CMM and shipping.

When on site your time over each year will be approximately 80% machining 20% other activities. We are a small company and you’ll get exposure to all areas. Rarely will one day be the same. There are also other more routine activities, work area cleaning, machine maintenance cleaning, coolant monitoring, emptying swarf, shot blasting, packing, loading, unloading parts, delivering and collecting parts to customers and suppliers.
