Permanent | Full Time

If you are a machinist who loves variety, problem solving and making parts that actually matter, this is a brilliant opportunity to join a high-performing in-house engineering team with a newly set up machine shop.

This is not production line machining. This role is about one-off and small batch components, repairs, improvements and bespoke equipment builds. You will become the go-to machinist for a busy engineering function, helping maintain momentum on projects and responding quickly when priorities shift.

You’ll be working in a brand new machine shop environment that is being properly invested in, with real opportunity to shape how it operates.

The Role:

Manual machining on lathe and mill (one-offs and small batch work)

Operating an XYZ CNC Mill

Working with various lathes (including smaller precision work)

Using band saws, donkey saws and workshop cutting equipment

Modifying existing parts – drilling, boring, reworking and improving fit/function

Interpreting engineer requirements and turning them into workable components

Working confidently with hand and power tools

Occasional assistance with mechanical assembly

Supporting repairs, improvements and bespoke builds

Maintaining 5S standards and high housekeeping levels

Remaining flexible and adaptable as project priorities change

The Environment & Equipment:

XYZ-style CNC mill

Multiple lathes

Band saw, donkey saw and workshop cutting equipment

Cleaning/degreasing set-up being added

What We’re Looking For:

Proven machinist with workshop background (small batch/varied work ideal) xjnqpsq

Comfortable machining mixed materials (steel, aluminium, plastics, etc.)

Practical, adaptable and solutions-focused

Able to work independently while supporting a wider engineering team

Comfortable managing longer jobs while reacting to urgent requests

Strong attention to detail and quality standards

This is a genuine opportunity to step into a machine shop that is being built properly, with investment, autonomy and long-term prospects.

If you’re looking for a varied machining role where your skill actually makes a difference, this could be the move
