Halifax, West Yorkshire
Are you a CNC Miller with experience programming, setting and operating 3 and 4-axis vertical milling machines using Heidenhain controls, looking for a permanent days-based role with an early finish every Friday and optional overtime?
On offer is the opportunity to join a well-established precision engineering business manufacturing high-precision components from stainless steel and specialist alloys. You will work within a modern, well-equipped machine shop producing components from difficult-to-machine materials, including Inconel and Nitronic.
In this role, you will program new CNC milling jobs directly at the machine, set and operate vertical milling machines, and load, prove, edit and optimise programs. You will also select tooling, feeds and speeds, carry out first-off and in-process inspections, and ensure components meet tight tolerance and surface-finish requirements.
