We at Carraero are seeking a skilled CNC Mill Programmer and Operator to join our dynamic, passionate team. The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of CNC machining processes and be proficient in programming, setting up and operating a CNC mill, specifically a 2024 Haas VF-4SS-HSE with 4th Axis drive. Successful candidates will work closely with our engineering & design team to manufacture automotive carbon fibre components such as moulds for engine Airbox components, both for road and race. This will involve machining mostly aluminium & titanium parts in batch quantities but also ever-changing contract parts & setups.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and optimise 3D CNC programs for our Haas VF-4SS
  • Manage software and operations for our 3D printers - using it to create custom fixtures
  • Interpret engineering drawings and CAD files to fabricate components accurately
  • Collaborate with the engineering team to troubleshoot any issues that arise during machining processes
  • Perform quality checks on finished products using appropriate measuring tools
  • Maintain a clean and organised work environment and keep documents and records up to date
  • Oversee and manage anodising & vapour blasting

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.
