Please note: only applicants with the full-time, permanent right to work in the UK will be considered.



CNC Turner Overview:

✅ Salary around £36,000 per annum
✅ Hands-on CNC turning, setting and operating
✅ Varied machining work, from prototypes to production batches
✅ Siemens controls and live tooling experience highly desirable
✅ Permanent position with the chance to utilise milling skills



We're recruiting for an experienced CNC Turner to join an established precision engineering business in Havant, manufacturing components for industries including aerospace, defence, marine and medical.

This is a position for someone who knows their way around a CNC lathe and can confidently take a job from an engineering drawing through to a finished, inspected component. Strong turning experience is the priority, but if you've also worked with live tooling or CNC milling, there's an opportunity to put those skills to use.



Day-to-day responsibilities of a CNC Turner

• Set and operate CNC lathes independently.
• Manufacture precision components from engineering drawings.
• Work on a mixture of one-offs, prototypes and production batches.
• Select tooling, carry out tool changes and adjust offsets.
• Work to ISO tolerances, with tighter requirements where specified.
• Carry out dimensional inspections using precision measuring equipment.
• Monitor machining operations and make adjustments to maintain accuracy.
• Troubleshoot tooling and machining issues as they arise.
• Support CNC milling operations where experience allows.
• Maintain high standards of quality and safe working.
  
  

What they're looking for: CNC Turner

• Solid experience as a CNC Turner, with strong setting and operating skills.
• Confidence working independently on CNC lathes.
• Good knowledge of tooling, machining processes and machine adjustments.
• Ability to read and work accurately from engineering drawings.
• Experience working to engineering tolerances and inspecting finished components.
• A practical, hands-on approach to problem-solving.
  
  

Desirable: CNC Turner

• Siemens CNC control experience.
• Experience with live or driven tooling.
• Experience operating mill-turn machines or CNC turning centres.
• 3-axis CNC milling experience.
• Ability to work across both turning and milling operations.

Turning experience comes first. If you're a capable CNC Turner without milling experience, you'll still be considered.



What's on offer: CNC Turner
