CNC Process Technician

CNC Process Technician

We are seeking a motivated and technically skilled CNC Process Technician to join our dynamic shopfloor team in the multi-axis high precision CNC turning, milling, and grinding environment. This hands-on role is an ideal opportunity for individuals with an engineering mindset and a passion for solving technical challenges at machine level.

The successful candidate will bring a solid foundation in engineering, ideally through an apprenticeship coupled with in-depth, shopfloor engineering expertise. This position offers exciting opportunities for career progression and technical development within a high-precision manufacturing setting.

Key Role Responsibilities

  • Support daily production processes in our agile CNC Turning, Milling & Grinding cells to ensure optimal machine performance and product quality.
  • Diagnose and resolve technical issues on the shopfloor using engineering fundamentals and root cause analysis.
  • Collaborate with engineering, maintenance, and production teams to implement process improvements.
  • Assist in tooling selection, setup, and maintenance to ensure efficient operations.
  • Participate in continuous improvement initiatives focused on productivity, quality, and safety.
  • Contribute to the development and documentation of process control methods and standard work instructions.
  • Support the integration of apprentices and new technicians through mentoring and knowledge sharing.

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.
