Job Description:
Workshop Machinist (CNC / Manual)
RH20 Area
£32,000 – £35,000 per annum
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)
*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.
