• Understanding and applying the correct tool feeds and speeds to optimise machining processes and cycle times.
• Ensuring components are manufactured within estimated production times without compromising quality.
• Maintaining high standards of accuracy and attention to detail throughout the manufacturing process.
• Following company quality procedures and maintaining a clean, safe and organised working environment.
• Identifying and resolving machining issues to minimise disruption and maintain production efficiency.

What We're Looking For

This is a skilled machining position, and relevant industry experience is essential.

To be considered, you will need:

• At least 2 years' machining experience within the oil and gas industry.
• Practical, hands-on experience operating CNC Lathes.
• The ability to confidently interpret and work from engineering drawings.
• A good working knowledge of tooling applications and machine tool capabilities.
• An understanding of machining feeds and speeds and how to apply these to achieve efficient cycle times.
• Experience machining high-grade materials, ideally including Inconel 718.
• A strong commitment to quality, accuracy and precision engineering.
• Good communication and problem-solving skills.
• The flexibility to work a rotating days and nights shift pattern.

What's on Offer?

• Competitive salary, dependent on experience.
• An opportunity to work within a specialist engineering and manufacturing environment.
• The chance to utilise and develop your CNC machining expertise.
