CNC Programmer
About Absolute CNC Ltd
Absolute CNC Ltd is seeking an experienced CNC Programmer to join our close-knit team in Burton-on-Trent, supporting our expansion. We specialise in the manufacture of precision-engineered components across diverse engineering sectors—from individual parts to larger batch production. Much of our output demands high-value, technical work using challenging materials, including exotic metals.
This is an outstanding opportunity for a confident CNC Programmer with exceptional craftsmanship, a focus on meticulous attention to detail, and a desire to be part of a supportive, skilled engineering team. Resilience for personal growth and career development within the company is also encouraged.
About the Role
This CNC Programmer must demonstrate a strong command of Fanuc controls, with the ability to program, set, and operate CNC machines effectively. Prior experience in milling or turning is highly regarded, though the ideal candidate brings expertise across both disciplines.
