CNC Programmer (Mazak)
£24 per hour + Uncapped Overtime at Time and a Half + 25 Days Holiday
Stonehouse, Stroud
Are you a CNC Programmer, CNC Setter Operator, CNC Machinist, or similar with Mazak experience, looking to join an established precision engineering business offering a Monday to Friday role, uncapped overtime, and long-term stability?
On offer is the opportunity to join a specialist engineering business where you will work on a range of Mazak CNC machines, producing high-quality components to technical drawings and specifications. You will be working in a hands-on role where accuracy, quality, and right-first-time production are key.
In this varied role, you will programme, set, and operate Mazak machines including J600, 1800T, and VNC510 machinery. You will read and interpret engineering drawings, set tooling and machine parameters, produce precision components, carry out first article inspections, and ensure parts are manufactured to the required quality standards.
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.
