CNC Mill Machinist

TAIT partners with artists, brands, IP holders, and place makers to bring culture-defining, never-before-seen experiences to life. With a legacy of innovation spanning over 45 years, TAIT has grown from pioneering in rock ‘n’ roll concert staging to setting the global standard for extraordinary live events and experiences through cutting-edge technology, precision engineering, and creative design.

Position Purpose

The CNC Mill Machinist is a vital member of our manufacturing team, responsible for producing precision components using CNC machine tools. The role demands expertise in operating and setting up various milling machines to manufacture parts of diverse sizes and volumes, utilising jigs and fixtures to ensure accuracy. Beyond core production tasks, you’ll play an essential part in maintaining production efficiency, quality, and safety standards, while collaborating across departments to diagnose problems and enhance ongoing processes.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
