3Sixty Talent Management are recruiting for an experienced CNC Turner / Programmer to join a well-established precision engineering business.

  • Additional Christmas shutdown
  • Healthcare scheme
  • Pension scheme
  • Long-established business with continued investment and development
  • Immediate start available

The Role

This isn’t a setter/operator-only position.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys the programming side of CNC turning and is confident writing new programmes from scratch.

You’ll be responsible for:

  • Programming, setting and operating 2-axis CNC turning machines
  • Writing new CNC programmes from scratch / long-hand at the machine
  • Working with G-code
  • Setting machines from engineering drawings through to finished components
  • Selecting tooling and determining appropriate speeds, feeds and cutting conditions
  • Editing and optimising existing programmes
  • Producing one-off and low-to-medium volume precision components
  • Working with a range of hard and soft metals
  • Carrying out in-process inspection and ensuring components meet specification
  • Reading engineering drawings, tolerances and surface finishes
  • Maintaining high standards of quality while working with minimal supervision

What we’re looking for

You’ll ideally have:

  • Proven experience as a CNC Turner / CNC Programmer
  • Strong 2-axis CNC turning experience
  • The ability to programme machines from scratch
  • Good knowledge of G-code
  • Strong engineering drawing interpretation skills
  • Experience with tooling, speeds, feeds and cutting conditions
  • A good understanding of tolerances and surface finishes
  • Experience producing precision components
  • A quality-focused and reliable approach
  • The confidence to work independently

Fanuc controls and Fanuc Manual Guide i experience would be advantageous, but is not essential.

Interested?

If you’re an experienced CNC Turner / Programmer and the idea of every Friday appeals to you, we’d love to hear from you.
