Full job descriptionManufacturing Engineer / CNC Programmer
Advanced CNC | 3, 4 & 5-Axis | Aerospace | Romford, Essex
Complex components. Advanced machining. Real engineering ownership.
A well-invested aerospace precision engineering business is growing its engineering team and is looking for an experienced Manufacturing Engineer / CNC Programmer to take ownership of programming, process development and manufacturing optimisation.
This is far more than a programming role. You’ll have genuine influence over how complex aerospace components are manufactured, developing processes, tooling, fixtures and setup strategies to deliver first-time-right production.
The Role
*Create, optimise and prove 3, 4 and 5-axis CNC programmes
*Develop manufacturing processes, routings and setup strategies
*Design and implement work-holding and fixture solutions
*Select tooling and optimise machining processes
*Drive first-time-right production and reduce manufacturing inefficiencies
*Support the introduction of new aerospace components into manufacture
*Work closely with Production, Quality and Engineering teams
*Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities
What You’ll Bring
*Proven CNC programming experience within precision engineering
*Strong understanding of 3, 4 and 5-axis machining
*Experience developing manufacturing methods and setup strategies
*Ability to interpret complex engineering drawings and specifications
*Aerospace manufacturing experience is highly desirable
*Hypermill experience would be advantageous
Why This Role?
This is an opportunity to move beyond simply writing programmes and become a key part of the manufacturing engineering process.
You’ll be solving real machining challenges, improving processes and influencing manufacturing standards while working on technically demanding aerospace components.
On offer:
*Highly competitive salary
*Healthcare benefits
*Flexible working hours
*Generous holiday allowance
*Genuine engineering ownership and influence
If you’re a Manufacturing Engineer / CNC Programmer who wants to work on complex components, tight tolerances and genuinely interesting engineering, this could be a very strong next move.
