Location: West Sussex
Salary: Up to £22 per hour
Hours: Monday to Friday, Day Shift (40 hours)


The Role:
We’re working with a well-established precision engineering business supplying high-performance components into motorsport and advanced engineering environments.


This is a hands-on machining role where you will be responsible for:
*Programming, setting and running your own work
*Working from engineering drawings through to finished part
*Machining complex components from billet using CNC milling machines
*Adjusting tooling, feeds and strategies to achieve the required finish and tolerance
*Carrying out your own inspection and ensuring parts are right first time


This is not an operator role. You’ll be expected to think through jobs and solve problems on the machine.


What they’re looking for:
*Experience with CAM programming (e.g. Esprit, Fusion, Mastercam or similar)
*Strong CNC milling background (multi-axis beneficial)
*Ability to program, set and run independently
*Comfortable working on one-off and complex components, not just batch production
*Good understanding of machining strategy, tooling and cutting behaviour


Nice to have (not essential):
*5-axis machining experience (3+2 is common)
*Experience with high-spec or tight tolerance work
*Background in aerospace, motorsport or similar environments


The environment:
*High-value components where accuracy matters
*Modern, well-equipped machine shop
*Skilled team where everyone is hands-on and capable
*Work is varied and often technically challenging


Important:
This role suits someone who:
*Enjoys solving problems
*Takes ownership of their work
*Is confident working independently


It won’t suit:
*Operators
*People used to repetitive production work
*Anyone reliant on others for programming


Apply:
If you’re a capable machinist who can program, set and run your own work, we’d be keen to speak.
